Hi,
I'm kind of a novice to this but I have a home network set up as follow and was interested in the WOL function.
1. Server/gaming PC located in basement: wired via switch connected directly to router (WNDR3700)
2. Dell XPS lapop upstairs connected to wirelessly to network.
Can I use the Dell laptop (wireless connection) to wake up my PC that is located in the basement?
If not, is it okay to let the basement PC run continuously without sleeping/hibernating or is there a way to reduce power but keep the drives network accessible?
It's really cool in the basement and the case is well ventilated so heat shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!
