WakeOnLan 1.0.2 by NewCloud is a lightweight network utility designed to send Wake-on-LAN (WoL) magic packets across local or remote networks, enabling administrators and home users to power on sleeping, hibernating, or shut-down computers without physical access. By broadcasting a specially crafted frame to a target machine’s MAC address, the software eliminates the need to visit each PC manually, making it valuable for overnight patch management, remote desktop preparation, energy-conscious offices, and classroom labs that are cabled but not always occupied. The single-version catalog entry (1.0.2) provides a no-frills interface where users enter the destination MAC, optionally specify IP/subnet or internet-facing gateway, choose UDP port 7 or 9, and trigger the wake-up signal with one click; no agent installation is required on the receiving side as long as the network card, BIOS, and operating system have WoL enabled. System integrators can therefore script the executable inside maintenance batches, pairing it with ping probes to confirm readiness before pushing updates, imaging, or backup jobs. Falling under the Network Administration category, the utility complements larger suites such as Nero’s PC backup or media-sharing ecosystem, yet remains standalone for portability on technician USB drives. WakeOnLan is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
