Wake-on-LAN: Effortlessly Power On Offline Devices Remotely

Instantly wake up offline computers and device groups from anywhere with Zecurit's powerful Wake-on-LAN feature

Zecurit Remote Access provides a powerful Wake on LAN (WoL) feature, allowing IT teams to remotely power on offline computers whether individually, in bulk or on a scheduled basis.

Boost productivity, reduce downtime, eliminate unnecessary site visits and maintain complete remote control over your IT infrastructure.

Key Wake-on-LAN Capabilities

Wake Single Device: Instantly power on any offline workstation, server or laptop with a single click from your centralized dashboard.
Bulk Wake for Multiple Devices: Select multiple offline computers and wake them all at once, perfect for large-scale deployments, maintenance tasks or patch cycles.
Scheduled Wake Events: Automate device wake-ups at specific times to align with patch management, backups, compliance scans or user login hours.
