Wake on WLAN
Hi,
I got the Archer TX3000E wireless pcie card, version 1. I don't think it is stated anywhere on a spec sheet that it is supposed to support wake on WLAN (WoWLAN) but in this thread https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/236730 a person that seems to be from TP-Link apparently confirmed that the card supports WoWLAN. The configuration options for the device in the device manager suggests WoWLAN support as well.
Various other threads on the internet suggests that Intel chip on this card (Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160Mhz) supports WoWLAN (https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/Intel-AX200-Wake-on-Wireless-LAN-WoWLAN-working-intermittently/td-p/625132).
Can anybody confirm that they actually tried and got the WoWLAN working for this card? I tried everything I could think of and was not successfull.
* WoL is supported by the mainboard for the onboard LAN controller (which I got to work successfully) as well as PCIe cards. The relevant settings are enabled in the BIOS. There is no mention of WoWLAN support on the mainboard spec sheet but I have to assume that WoWLAN uses the same mechanisms as WoLAN.
* While sleeping, the computer shows up on the router's "connected devices" list (presumably the DHCP table) with the TX3000E MAC address. It disappears from this list when turned off. This leads me to believe that the card is still powered in sleep mode and would be capable of receiving the magic WoL package.
* In the device manager under the card's properties, "Allow this device to wake the computer" is enabled. (I tried with "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer" enabled and disabled as well.)
* The driver installed is the latest from the TP-Link download center (v22.0.0.6)
* Windows fast startup is disabled (not that I think that matters, I'd be happy to wake from sleep, not even going for waking from off)
Any help in getting this running is appreciated, otherwise I'll have to try and get a warranty replacment.
