Z490-I - Does it support Wake on LAN?

I am still struggling to fond out if this MoBo supports WOL and would be grateful for any ideas please.

Greetings,

If you see LAN connectivity with the system powered off, WoL is likely supported.  Its not documented in the manual, and the chip is only identified as Intel 2.5Gbe.  Intel makes several chiips:

Which chip is it...  Check Device Manager for this.

Once identified, check advanced properties.

Here is an example.  My BIOS doesn't have an entry for WoL, but the adapter supports it.  More likely a wired connection would support it over wireless (laptop) since the adapter would likely be powered off when the system was sleeping.  It sounds like your wired adapter is continuing to receive power.  Please note the following.  Cheap (inexpensive) routers don't always support WoL reliably.  Many do not implement or support the ARP table properly and can be unreliable.  You should be able to use a packet sniffer (may also required a hub) to ensure wake packet are correctly being passed to the device you are trying to wake.  I think Magic Packets use UDP ports 7 and 9.
