I have a NUC model NUC8BEB version J72693-305 mounted behind an office conference room TV. I’m looking into whether there are ways to enable Wake On LAN over WiFi. The adapter settings indicate this capability exists, but I haven’t found a method yet. Online searches suggest it’s not possible without a wired connection. Any suggestions?

You completely overlooked the fact that the original poster was discussing WoL over WiFi.

Also known as WoWLAN, it's a method to wake devices using wireless networks.

The configuration remains unchanged for NUCs that support it with a suitable wireless adapter. Additional steps might include turning on "Allow magic packet to wake computer," turning off fast startup, and switching to standby mode (though this may not function if the device is powered off). WoWLAN could perform less effectively than WoL, which I acknowledge.
