iNet WOL - Wake on Lan Reviews

by Sergio--incorp

Doesn’t work with closed lid in my case

It does not work

by Junnny

if I can get it working :-)

Trouble is, I can't get a reply from the developer to figure out what's not working when trying to "wake" over the Internet.

Nice enough interface for a simple one-note utility, but given everything looks correct and I can't get in touch to find out what's not working, I'll hold off on the 5 stars :-)

I thought this was working to wake via internet…I set up port forwarding on my router as per the instructions but after a day, it stopped waking via internet. It wakes when I’m on my local network but it’s not worth paying for an app that only saves me a short walk to the office. App seems to work for other reviewers so maybe its just my hardware setup.

etherwake, a command line app in Linux that does the exact same thing, is a whopping 11kb; yet, for some reason this is 63mb. What possible justification can there be for that? It's not even a universal app, and there's no real graphics to speak of.

I have no idea how large it was when I first downloaded it in 2010. It has always worked as advertised, though.

Had a little trouble getting it to work with Vista on a PC. Support was well intentioned but limited in resources. Found the work around independently and once I did it worked just as advertised. Very handy ap that saves one from having to manually wake your computer.

Does exactly what it suppose to- works on internal wifi and via 3G. The iPhone app deserves 5 stars, but I'm giving it 4 because there is no larger interface for the iPad ( but it is fully functional on either device).

by Pongohops

Wonderful app. Easy to setup, use, and to the point. I don't know if it's possible, but please add the remote sleep, shutdown, and restart for Windows OS - with that it would be complete and perfect!

Used to use iWol because it was one of the first ones on iNetWOL store to do wol but iNetWOL is much more configurable and easy to use. It works great.

Can't wait for version 2.0 coming out in november 2010 to support iOS4!

Set this up in seconds. can now wakeup my home machine (to use RDP or such) via the internet. Does exactly what is says on the tin !

Works great over intranet or internet, after your router is setup, of course.

by Wes1982

Works perfectly over 3G and wifi. Now I can let my computer sleep AND still use LogMeIn to gain remote access. Keep up the good work! I use a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard by the way.

by MatthewTx

Had it working within minutes of installation. Wake on Lan and Internet worked with little configuration. The auto configuration option worked well. Great application.

by Protosshybrid

App works perfectly. Please add Apple Watch support for WOL. Tried wake on lan competitors with Watch support, but they do not work as consistently.

by Emilian.cartis

Very easy interface, works well. Have to be connected to your network to work. Wasn't able to do remote over the Internet, but it's still very good product.

...however, setting up WOL on the PC may not be trivial...especially when configuring a router for WOL over the internet.
Once it's done correctly, iNetWOL works exactly as advertised. Good job!

by Edoraye

Works great to WOL my 2010 Mac Mini remotely over the Internet!

Key steps:
- Have a dynamic DNS service to point to your network's external IP. Enter this static address into iNetWOL
- Set up my Time Machine to forward UDP 9 to my Mac's static IP address

It can be done. Contact iNetWOL's tech support if you have issues.

Don't leave a bad review just because you don't try hard enough or you fail because you don't know what you are doing.

Again, it can be done and works beautifully on my 2010 Mac Mini over wifi with my Time Capsule, controlled by iNetWOL over the Internet.

WOL worked just the way I expected on local and remote wifi networks. I don't understand people who drop stars for features that were never advertised to begin with. I did my homework before buying and haven't been disappointed.

by RyanRigg

How many times have you been at work and cannot remote in to your machine at home because it's asleep or your power turned off or for whatever reason. With some EASY and FAST configuration, I am able to use my 3Gs to power up all of my machines from anywhere I have AT&T service and or Wi-Fi. Locally in my network not so much an issue, however, this application automatically detects your settings by providing IP addressing. Great work! Great App!

by Txsigman

iNetWOL has worked perfectly for me 100% of the time! I use it to wake my Mac desktop, so I can send files to it from my iPad and iPhone. Worth every penny of the price.
