Wake-up

same here with noip DDNS provider in my case , If I enter the public IP NUMBER in the settings of the PC and not the public ADDRESS NAME, then the PC wakes up. Else not. Everything (DDNS and port forwarding) is set up fine and I can wake the PC from web sites the support the function. No news yet?

Hello guys,

So I don't know if any of you experience problems with the new update but yesterday my teamviewer was updated on my PC and Laptop and since then I am experiencing some problems.

The last 10 months I have used Wake-on-lan without any problems to get my PC out of sleep with my laptop. Since the update it does not work anymore. Furthermore, since the update when I put my PC in sleep mode it is still visible as 'online' in my device list.

Can someone tell me if I am the only one experiencing these problems since the new update and if someone knows a fix?

Thanks in advance, kind regards Boaz

Me too. Since version 15.40.8 was installed it will not Wake On Lan other computers on the LAN. Other computers on the LAN which are still on version 15.39.x can still WoL each other.

I recently upgraded to V15.40.8 (32-bit) and wake on LAN quit working. I get a message saying "Failed to wake (computer name)" on the first try and no message if I try again. I had no problems with this feature on earlier versions. Has wake on LAN setup changed in any way?

Can confirm @Mhaxx post, The android app does not allow me to wake up my machine, but the web management console works fine.

same problem for me, waking up with TV used to work, now it doesn't work anymore.

It is a bug I used Feedback option to report this.

Also I managed to find a previous version 15.39.6 in this location: c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\TeamViewer\

I managed to install it over the 15.40.8 version without any issue and WOL is working again. I switched off automatic updates in Extras/Options/Advanced/

The current version is still 15.40.8 and there does not appear to be any response from the developers.

Yes, today version 15.41.8 is shown as current. I will test it.

The Wake-On-LAN feature was functional before, but for some reason my router's public-facing IP address changed and now it doesn't work. I already reconfigured Wake-On-LAN in the settings of my PC TeamViewer client to use the new public IP of my router. I am able to still send a WOL packet to successfully awaken my PC from a different app on my phone, but the TeamViewer mobile app refuses to wake up my computer. I would test from another desktop client, but I don't have another network to connect to and don't have hairpin routing configured.

Version 15.41.9 also fails to wake a computer that will wake from version 15.39.6.

I have been trying to get the latest version to work with "wake-on-lan" and have made progress. I did the following steps and it seemed to help.

1. Make sure in the options menu your devices are assigned to an account and you also have the "Manage this device" set. I had some problems with one machine that would not let me assign it to an account. I had to uninstall Teamviewer, remove the settings, reinstall it, and re-input all the options to fix this.
2. When using wake-on-lan, use only the devices listed under "My Managed Devices" to start a given device. If you try and wake a device under the "My Computers" heading, you get the message "Failed to Wake DeviceName".

I have also found that the sleep state seems to affect how a given device is displayed under "My Managed Devices". Sometimes even though a device is in standby, it shows that it is online and you can't wake it using Teamviewer. If I sleep a machine using the Windows start button, power, and sleep, it seems to work the best. Hitting the power button to sleep or using Psshutdown seems to confuse Teamviewer for some reason.

If the work-around above is not available to you then here is another. I have no association with the supplier of this free software but have found it useful to replace the wake-on-lan functionality currently missing from TeamViewer: [Removed as Community Guidelines]
