Hi everyone, I’m facing a problem with my OptiPlex 3050 Tower SFF not waking up on LAN. I’ve checked the BIOS updates and everything seems fine. I’m connected directly to the router without a switch, so it shouldn’t be a router issue. My AC Recovery stays on Power On, Wake On LAN is enabled, and the PC powers back on after an outage. I suspect the power supply might have changed—switching to a Corsair SF 650 and using an adapter for the board. Still, I don’t see any issues with pressing the hardware buttons or seeing the yellow link lights when AC comes back. I’m open to suggestions like a smart switch card for remote control, but I want to keep things secure and within budget. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

These devices show inconsistent performance due to unstable firmware. It seems the BIOS may be the issue.
