There should be an option in the BIOS somewhere. If it is not in the BIOS then you may see an option in Device Manager for enable shutdown/wake up.

I cannot seem to find it in the bios.
Is there any chance it could be named something else?

Go to your device manager in windows and right click on your network card and check the properties. You should find an option for enable shutdown/wake up.

If you talking about these enabling them did not help.
After sending the packets from my phone to my network my computer did not turn on.

Does the iPhone have an app for sending magic packets? You need to get the MAC address for the adapter you're trying to wake and send it the magic packets from whatever app/program you're using. As long as WOL is enable in device manager or the BIOS it should work.

I'm, using "WoL wake up on lan wan" app for android I was going to use it with my NFC tag so every time I touch my nfc tag with the phone the pc would turn on.
I put the "Physical adress" in the mac tab of the program and the ip in the ip tab, after sending the packets nothing happened.
There is this SecureOn that is just set to FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF not sure whats that.
I think I've done everything perfectly but when I press send packets it sends five but the computer does not respond.

Sounds like a cool setup. Let's make sure that your phone and computer are on the same network. Go to the cmd prompt on your pc and type arp -a. That will give you a table with IPs and MACs for the devices that you can see on your network. One of those should be your phone.

I have two modems/routers that could be the problem here.
One is for WiFi, the other one is just an old one that my isp gave me years ago. so my pc is connected to the old one and the phone connect to the WiFi one, maybe thats why its not working so well.

 

[OriginalCadaver]

Yes, to communicate at layer 2 you need to be on the same network. Plug the PC in to the one with wifi and I bet it will work. The MAC address won't change but the IP may.

 

[tomkis90]

The problem is when I do so my internet just doesn't work for some reason.

 

[OriginalCadaver]

Are you sure the phone is using your wifi and not the mobile data? You have the modem plugged in to the phone/cable then the wifi router plugged in to the modem right? But when you use the ethernet jack on the wifi router the internet doesn't work but when you plug in to the modem it does.

 

[tomkis90]

I'm 100% the phone is using Wifi.
I will upload you photo with everything labeled in just a sec so its easier to explain what I got going on.

So this is what I have connected

After disconnecting 1, the internet stops working on computer number 1, the same is with the number 2, disconnecting 3 or 4 crashes wifi and 5 is the main ethernt cable.

 

[OriginalCadaver]

So, 1 and 3 are the same cable.
2 goes to your PC
5 goes to the wall or wherever you get your service from
where does 4 go?

 

[tomkis90]

1 and 3 indeed is the same cable.
2 goes to one pc.
4 I'm guessing goes to the pc I'm using and trying to setup the wol thingy. (internet on the pc disconnects as soon as I unplug it)
But after I enter http://192.168.0.1/ into my chrome it opens D-Link (the black one) and not TP-Link ( the white one ) I'm sooo confused.
