wakeonlan

The WakeOnLAN (WOL) utility sends a "magic" package to a network card, based on the MAC address. If the network card supports the "Wake On Lan" feature (and the feature is enabled in the BIOS of the computer), then the computer will power on automatically after receiving the packet.

 

if a router supports direct broadcasts, magic packets can also be sent  to a router.
