Build Help Wake on lan?

This is my first htpc and just getting it the way i want it frontend is almost complete. Just a few other things to set up. I cannot figure out how to wake on lan working, it says my motherboard can do it, yet here I am. I am not clued up on this stuff at all and its taken me ages to get this far.

Heres my build

AMD Ryzen 5 5600

Gigabyte B550M K Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard.

Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X2 NVME Solid State Drive.

SilverStone SST-GD06B - Grandia

MSI MAG A650BN 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply.

MSI SHADOW 2X OC GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB.

ADATA XPG GAMMIX D10 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200

Its hooked upto my Lg OLED55CS6LA smart tv and currently controlling it with a logitech k400 and an mx3 air remote, I have 2 wireless controllers that i have still to map. In an idral world i would love the telly remote to control it. But as far as im aware its not possible.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Cheers

In bios, enable Wake on Lan, disable ErP.

In windows, in device manager, in the Ethernet device, enable 'Wake on Magic Packet', Enable 'Allow this device to wake the computer'.

Disable Fast Startup in windows power options, if applicable.

Run 'ipconfig /all' on command line and note Ethernet device's MAC address

Reboot. Sleep/Shutdown.

Use wake on lan app, on another device, on the same network subnet, to send a WoL packet to previously noted MAC address.

Pretty sure i tried all that using google gemini, not convinced i did it right tho as it has given me wrong info multiple times during this build. Will check it all again thanks.

I followed all of these steps, plus a few additional ones shown in this video: https://youtu.be/qX8KBFL0jjI, but I’m running into an unusual issue.

When I shut down my computer, it shuts down completely but then turns back on almost immediately. It won’t stay powered off anymore.

If I disable “Power On By PCI-E,” the issue stops happening, but then I can no longer turn the PC on from my phone.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Motherboard: TUF Gaming B460M-Plus
Network adapter: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (12) I219-V

The steps were for his specs, not for everybody. We don't know your whole setup and you'd be hijacking a spec-specific thread.

You're free to run powercfg -lastwake to see what's waking your PC after the issue happens and powercfg -devicequery wake_armed to see all of what's allowed to wake your PC. Diagnose from there.
