Does Acer Aspire 515-43 support "Wake On Lan" ?

I've bought an Acer Aspire 515-43 from Amazon not too long ago. It was a pretty good deal, around 400$ for the laptop which was a pretty good bang for my buck.
Anyways, I've trying to get "Wake on Lan" to work for some time now. I know the bios has an option to enable WOL and i've switched it on. I've been in the device manager and
enabled the services and power options for it to work on windows 10. I know the computer receives the Magic Packets because I've viewed the sent packages and confirmed it with a package capture called WireShark.

The network card that came with this laptop is the "Qualcomm Atheros qca61x4a". Does this network card support card Wake On Lan?
Anyone have experience with this laptop? its a pretty popular one. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been frustrated trying to make this work for a week now.

It should be capable of waking from standby/sleep state but if not from power-off state if that's what you're trying to do. Right click properties of the LAN in Device Manager, .Check if there's power management tab to make sure laptop doesn't auto disable in standby mode to save power. If not, check advanced tab that WoL is enabled.

I was messing around with it some more and I managed to make it work with a wired connection. I guess the network card doesn't support wireless WOL.

Or maybe i'm missing the right driver, Although I believe its up to date.

Thanks for the Reply.

Yes, your system WOL is wired only. wWOL is wireless. I had assumed that we were talking about wired-- WOL --- all along. Sorry for misunderstanding. Thanks for reporting back and straightening things out..
