WoWLAN is a thing. On my motherboard it works so well that it wakes up whenever my phone, laptop or steam deck connect to the WiFi, not just when I actually send the magic packets!
First time I hear about WoWLAN, thanks! I will check if it can work with my cheap usb Wifi adapter.
Yours seems a bit too eager though! I wouldn't want the thing to start up every time I get home as it turns the projector on, which lowers the projector screen, which blocks the (small) apartment's main entrance when lowered and would make me enter home on my fours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah it's not actually intentional; I have sunk a lot of time into trying to stop it happening. The firmware on my motherboard sucks; I couldn't even suspend it before the last bios update. Relatively new board.
