WOL Magic Packet Sender: Free Open Source LAN Wake-Up Tool

A simple utility for sending Wake-on-LAN magic packets to remotely wake up computers on a local network, with an easy-to-use interface for entering target MAC addresses.

What is WOL Magic Packet Sender?

WOL Magic Packet Sender is a free, open source Windows application used to wake up computers remotely using the Wake-on-LAN (WOL) standard. It allows you to easily send WOL magic packets to any computer on your local network to power it on or wake it up from sleep mode.

To use it, you simply enter the MAC address of the target computer you want to wake up. The app encodes the address into a standard WOL magic packet and sends it out over the network. This magic packet is a specially formatted broadcast that tells the receiving computer to power up. As long as WOL is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI, the computer will wake up when it receives this packet.

WOL Magic Packet Sender has a very simple and straightforward interface. You don't need to configure any complex settings - just paste in a MAC address and click the 'Send' button. It works with both wired and wireless network adapters that have WOL capabilities enabled. The software is also portable and leaves no footprint on the host computer.

Because it is so lightweight and easy to use, WOL Magic Packet Sender is a handy utility for network administrators, IT personnel, and computer support techs who need to remotely power on many computers. It saves the time and hassle of having to physically press the power button on each machine.
