Use my wifi connected Pi to wake my PC via LAN?

[chrisd10]

Hi!

I recently moved house and i dont have the permission to drill holes through the walls to connect my PC via LAN. So im wondering if i can use my Pi that is connected to the Router via wifi to wake my PC that is connected to the pi via LAN. Is this possible?
Whenever i connect something to the Ethernet Port the pi isnt reachable via Wifi to me.

Thanks!

Yes, you can.

I just woke a PC using wakeonlan on a Pi that is connected via wireless (it's at the other end of my garden). The router in this case is another Pi running hostapd.

As long as your PC's motherboard supports Wake on LAN.

Find the MAC of your PC Ethernet.

Install the wakeonlan package on the PI.

sudo apt-get install wakeonlan

Issue the command

wakeonlan 00:24:1D:33:91:59

Where 00:24:1D:33:91:59 is your PC's ethernet MAC.

wakeonlan 00:24:1D:33:91:59

Where 00:24:1D:33:91:59 is your PC's ethernet MAC.

It does yes. But do i need to setup anything? IP tables on the Pi or PC to static?
PC and Pi are on Wifi and connected between eachother via lan. So theres no LAN to the Router.

"to wake my PC that is connected to the pi via LAN" implies there is a route between the Pi and the PC.
