> The computer that you are trying to wake up also needs to be connect with an ethernet cable as it is not possible to send a magic packet over wifi.

While WiFi adapters may not support waking up the computer from a WiFi signal, you absolutely can send magic packets over WiFi as they're normally just UDP broadcast frames. Convenient for waking up a desktop from a laptop!
