You could try a Win7/8 driver and see whether it works.

Cheers for the updates. I think I've sussed it. The Windows 7 driver (7.052.0203.2012) (from Realtek's site) works with all versions of Windows and WOL works The pre-installed driver, (9.1.402.2015) (included with Windows 10) does NOT work with WOL. The newer Windows 10 driver (10.10.714.2016) (from Realtek's site) does work with WOL. It looks like as MS technically dropped support for WOL, they've removed it from their own driver package. The newer driver includes it again. The zip file downloaded from Realtek's site has a silent_install.bat file and setup can be run as "setup.exe /s" to install the driver automatically. Good old MS. Web page with driver

Been there, done that haha. Even disabled fast startup 'HiberbootEnabled' = 0 in registry and power options. Windows has been told not to turn it off, it's been told to allow the the magic packet to wake it up etc to no avail. I had two machines setup exactly the same, one with the old driver, one with the new. The one with the old driver worked grrrr. I think I may need to remove the built-in one (if you can with built-in drivers?) from the WIM and inject the old one.

Even when the options are set in Device Manager it doesn't work. Sometimes they're not even visible. As I say, the only driver that will work is the Win7 one. Win8.1 didn't by default have it built in (don't quote me on that) so needed installing. Win10 has the driver included but a newer version.

Hi, I have a problem where WOL functionality has stopped working on Windows 10. Enabling different shutdown states and magic packet making etc. does not work as Google suggests. This is a Realtek NIC which uses the default built in Windows 10 driver. Manually installing the Win7/8 driver rectifies the problem. Is there a way to "force" the older driver to be installed or do I have to manually change it on 400 PCs? Cheers, Paul.

I'm surprise Adam Richman isn't standing next to it

That's where using a knife and fork is difficult. Usually there's paper on the board which gets chopped up and entangled in the cutlery.

Hey Guys and Gals, cheers for so many responses. It looks like neither of us are right or wrong, so there's no shame in how we do it. Although doing it with hands and putting the effort in is clearly the way forward out of 100 people so far.

Just a quick update. The relay board I purchased (as with most) come with a 817c optocoupler per channel built on to the board as a means of safety. Here is the relay I used

At least with Burger King and McDonalds everybody else does it so that's when. You get so little in some of them I can squash them down to a sensible size, that's if they're not already squashed already.

I'm on your side.

Well done, that looks fab - just don't blow yourself up. Glad you got it working.

I'd turn left given the main road veers to the right. Unless it's a roundabout - I'd reckon the cafe is on the side road to the left. If it is a roundabout, I reckon behind the camera.

That's good news. You'll have to take some pics of them in action now :-) Good work!

Sound good. What's the best way of going about getting one together haha
