Issue with Wake On LAN failing after short time

Hi everyone,
I've been doing everything possible to get my computer to Wake On LAN.
I'm using an Intel I210 network card and a B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard.
All the configurations in both BIOS and Windows seem correct.
Wake On Lan works briefly after putting the PC to sleep or shutting it down, but only for about a minute.
This suggests the magic packet reaches the NIC, but the power stays on.
The LED blinks when I send the packet, indicating the NIC is receiving it, yet the PC doesn't turn on.
It looks like power isn't the problem, but the motherboard might not be getting events from the NIC after a while?
Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks.

Did you attempt to run wireshark on the device to verify the arrival of the "awakening" packet?

The important point is that Wake functions properly immediately after turning off the computer, yet it ceases to interact with the magic packets after a short delay of leaving it on.

It's likely your router or switch isn't remembering the MAC address of the PC, which means it can't send the necessary packets correctly. A managed switch with port mirroring might be needed to capture the data using a sniffer like Wireshark.

Ensure the I210's advanced properties include enabling PME and Wake on Magic Packet, and verify that Allow this device to wake the computer is selected. Turn off power-saving options such as Energy Efficient Ethernet and Deep Sleep in both the adapter's settings and your system's BIOS.

I checked all the steps before, but didn’t find a "Deep Sleep" choice in BIOS or Windows. It seems the NIC stays powered even when the PC is off, with lights that stay on and flash when packets are sent. Still, the computer doesn’t turn on.

Your reservation aligns with the MAC address, but it may not be sufficient depending on your network requirements.

The MAC addresses become outdated in the ARP tables of network devices without depending on DHCP settings. It's important to verify if your router supports a static ARP entry.

Would you recommend checking on a different device to see if the magic packets include the right MAC address? Your router can't handle custom ARP bindings, and your Virgin Hub 5 doesn't support that feature.

If WOL matters for you, consider using a cable modem that works with your ISP because bridge mode isn't available on the Hub 5. Next, obtain a more advanced router that can handle a static ARP entry.
