Realtek Pcie Gbe Family Controller Driver Wake On Lan

| Posted on by

Mar 27, 2017 - I would suggest to update your BIOS and drivers from the manufacturer. BIOS: I believe that your version H.10 is actually version H.A from. Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller drivers for Windows 10 x64. Install drivers automatically. DriverPack software is absolutely free of charge. Available drivers (2). Download drivers for Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller network cards (Windows 10 x64), or install DriverPack Solution software for automatic driver download and update.

On my Windows 7 computer I have a partially working Wake-On-Lan.

Partially because it only works if I turn off the PC the 'hard way' by holding the power button for a few seconds. It does not work when I turn the PC off normally through windows.

When windows turns off the PC, I can, for it to work, simply turn on the PC and immediately, even before anything loads, turn it off by pressing the power button for two seconds.

I want to make it work every time. I can not figure out what could cause this behavior.

In Device Manager for my network card I have on the Advanced tab enabled both 'Wake on magic packed allowed' and 'Shutdown Wake-On-Lan'; and on the Power Management tab I have 'Allow this device to wake the computer' checked and 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' unchecked.

Any wrong BIOS setting would IMHO make it not work at all, not just partially.

I would suggest to update your BIOS and drivers from the manufacturer.

BIOS : I believe that your version H.10 is actually version H.A from 2015-08-24.The latest BIOS version H.B from 2016-02-22 is available from here.

Other drivers : The System & Chipset Driver and the LAN Driver are availablefrom here.

Before starting, I suggest to take precautions, especially with the BIOS.I would suggest taking a backup image of the system disk andcreating a system restore point.Ensure you have the installation media for your current BIOS version.
