ASUS Z790 / WIndows 11 Wake On Lan Random Wake Issue

[Rob6]

I've tried everything but when WOL is enabled the computer randomly wakes from sleep or hibernate mode without a magic packet being sent.  Suggestions?

Hello, @Rob6 

Could you please provide the full model number of your current motherboard?
Have the BIOS and Intel Ethernet Controller driver been updated to the latest versions?
Additionally, does selecting "only allow a magic packet to wake the computer" in the Power Management settings resolve the issue?
For related settings, please refer to the instructions in [Motherboard] How to set and enable WOL (Wake On LAN) function in BIOS.

Thank you
