    Does anyone know if wake on lan is supported on the Alienware 17r2 ? I looked in the bios menu but I couldn't find any option to enable/disable it.

    There's only USB wake support on these.

    Is there a reason for a product from 2015 to not support wake on lan? (That, and RAID along with it...)

    You do know how ridiculous this is, right?

    How do I remotely turn on my computer then? Is there a USB wake product that supports this?
