[NUC] Configure Wake-On LAN for NUC

Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is a hardware/software solution that wakes up your computer remotely from a low power mode or off mode. The computer must have an Internet connection and be plugged in to power for WoL to work.

Wake-on-LAN can be configured to use Ethernet or Wireless.

Note	Not all devices support Wireless Wake-on-LAN. Devices that do support Wireless Wake-on-LAN only support wake from system sleep states S3 or S4.

For WoL to function, your computer's BIOS and operating system need to be setup correctly.
