I host all my media on my Desktop PC, which is connected to the network via WIFI, unfortunely my Wifi Card doesnt support WoL (as dont most Wifi cards?), so my solution was to use an old RPI Model B with Wifi dongle I have as WoL switch, since
- it's low powered, compared to keeping PC on all the time
- can be powered by the PC USB port
- has a ethernet port which can be connected directly to PC
Requirements:
- RPI any model with Ethernet connection and WIFI (for wifi, i used a 5 euro wifi dongle)
