Hi all
Currently with the all available versions of the Windows 8.1 x64 I218-V you cannot use Wake On Lan if you have fastboot enabled, which is extremely painful.
Specs of system:
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Pentium G3420
RAM: 8.00GB DDR3 (9-9-9-27)
Motherboard: ASUS Z97M-PLUS
HDD: 500gb WD Black
This is a media pc, which really would make use of fastboot.
I've tried the drivers, all versions available, from the ASUS site:
Intel LAN Driver V12.11.96.1
Intel LAN Driver V19.0.27.0
This new driver from Intel site:
PROWinx64.exe 19.3
BIOS has correct settings to allow wake on lan.
Every single kind of power related setting imaginable to disable management on ALL devices, full power mode ahead. No joy.
No matter what options you use this horrendous set of drivers does not allow wake on lan with fast boot enabled, unlike every single realtek nic based mobo i've ever used.
I doubt that it will be fixed, or if Intel engineers even read these forums. But here's to hoping...
While it works without fast boot enabled, this is not a fixed. Merely a bandaid to the dodgy driver.
