Probably a stupid question

John_Pankhurst_1983

Just wondering if there is a way I could remotely switch on my partners PC from team viewer.

For background info. I live in Lismore which keeps getting demolished by floods and I would like to do some work on my work PC which I can't always get to.

Thanks.

Hello @John_Pankhurst_1983

Thank you for your post, and welcome to the TeamViewer community!

Rest assured, there are no stupid questions here 😁

Good news: TeamViewer does provide a Wake-on-LAN feature that would allow you to remotely turn on a Windows device (or wake a macOS device)

This feature can be set up in one of two ways:

Using another computer on the same network - In order to wake your target device, a second computer, connected to the router via Ethernet, is used to wake the desired machine

Using the device's public address - Wake the machine utilizing the static IP of the device

You can read more information in the manual, found here.

I hope this helps! If we can provide any further assistance with this query, please do not hesitate to reply back!
