Description
This app allows to wake up computers and other devices that support the WOL (Wake On LAN) standard. Most modern computers do support this, however, you may need to enable Wake-On-LAN in BIOS and sometimes in network card driver preferences. Although the app itself is very easy to use some networking knowledge may be required to set up your devices, especially if you are walking up over the Internet.To wake up a computer on your local network, all you need to provide is your device's MAC address. The app will figure out the broadcast IP address and send WOL packet to all devices on the network. You can also specify your device's local or broadcast address manually.
To wake up a computer over WAN you have to provide your router or firewall's external IP / DNS address. You must also configure the router to forward WOL packets to your local network. Simple port forwarding is not always sufficient. It may require forwarding UDP port 9 to your local broadcast address, setting up MAC-IP, MAC-ARP reservation, or something similar. Not all methods work on all routers and some more basic routers may not allow waking up over WAN at all.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
