Does wake-on-lan work on a Mac?

[lexvo]

I wonder if I can wake up my Mac from another part of my network. In this support article Apple says I need a wireless device from Apple: Airport. But AFAIK Airport devices aren't made anymore?

Resources van de Mac delen terwijl de sluimerstand actief is

Je kunt instellen dat de sluimerstand van de Mac wordt uitgeschakeld als andere gebruikers gedeelde resources willen gebruiken, zoals een printer of een afspeellijst uit Muziek.

I am not sure about a WIFI client able to WOL but u can test it locally first, you may have to go into the WIFI NIC and manually enable it, having such an option is your first good sign.

Then I remember doing this across the Internet, basically I added a rule to my local firewall, "if you see this incoming signal, send WOL command to this client."

I think it is more like Mac never sleep LOL

Since my first M-series purchase, I've noticed that Mac's these days just don't really sleep anymore.
