Wake on Lan on Dell Optiplex 3070's

Hello,

I have been trying to get Wake on Lan to work on a large number of Dell Optiplex 3070's, but have been unsuccessful. Each are configured as follows:-

Network Card

Power Management:

Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power (Enabled)

Allow this device to wake the computer (Enabled)

Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer (Enabled)

Advanced Property:

WoL & Shutdown link speed 10Mbps first

Wake on Pattern Match (Enabled)

Wake on Magic Packet when system (Enabled)

Wake on Magic Packet (Enabled)

Shutdown Wake on Lan (Default is Disabled) Tried it being disabled and enabled.

Energy-Efficient Ethernet (Default is Enabled) Set to Disabled

Green Ethernet (Default is Enabled)

Turn on fast start-up. Check box cleared

Deep Sleep. Disabled in Bios

Wake on Lan Enabled in Bios

Does anyone have ideas as to why it is not working please?

Many Thanks

Hi - Does anybody have any ideas please? What about the Dell Moderator? Wireshark is confirming that the magic packet is being sent to the PC's. The LED on the network card also blinks when powered off.

I have indeed read that article and others. They are of zero use.

Similar issues with a 5090 machine. Dell is of no help it appears!  They have a problem with their hardware.

There's one thing not making sense to me in the troubleshooting article linked above, in Power Management:  Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power 

By any chance have you tried it both ways - The above feature enabled and disabled?
