    I have a T440p with the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 which supports WoWLAN, but for some reason I am unable to wake my computer using wireless.

    It works just fine with a wired connection in both sleep and hibernation modes, but not wireless. I do have everything checked below as you can see, just like with my Gigabit ethernet card. This is on Windows 10, I never tried it on Windows 8 so I don't know if it would have worked in the past or not.

    Is WoWLAN enabled in the BIOS?

    WoLAN is enabled. I could not find a separate WoWLAN only option.

    Maybe the Laptop/BIOS does not support WoWLAN? But I am only speculating.

    Is there a way to check? I have the latest BIOS (2.37) installed. It's not a big deal honestly since the only time I really would use the Wake on LAN feature (from my phone) is when the computer is plugged in to the Ethernet and connected to my TV via HDMI.

    I'm just curious though why I'm unable to get it to work whether it's because Lenovo for some odd reason disabled it or some other reasoning.
