Wake on LAN is very useful functionality if your hardware supports it. Here is a good tutorial on the steps required to enable WOL on a device. This typically needs to be enabled in the BIOS first and the steps below will enable it in Linux  https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800
 
   01. After enabling WOL in the BIOS, boot into Linux and login
   02. Run the following commands in a terminal window
         # install ethtool
         sudo apt install ethtool -y
         # list network devices
         ip addr
   03. Look for the device that has a local IP address (192.168 or 10.10)
   04. Note the device name and the MAC address for use later when sending the magic packet
   05. Continue with the following commands to check if the device supports WOL
         # replace eno1 with the device name to test
         sudo ethtool eno1
   06. Find the Supports Wake-on line
   07. If it contains a g it supports WOL, continue with the following commands
         # enable wol on the device
         sudo ethtool -s eno1 wol g
         # edit the network interfaces configuration
         sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
   08. Paste the following below the iface line for the network device
         ethernet-wol g
   09. Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes
   10. Shutdown the device
   11. Test to see if WOL is working by sending a magic packet
   12. If everything is setup correctly the device should awaken from it's slumber and boot up
   13. Log back into the device and run the following command to verify the Wake-on value has updated to g on boot
         # replace eno1 with the device name to test
         sudo ethtool eno1
 
NOTE: If the WOL flag doesn't stick with the configuration above, replace the "ethernet-wol g" value in /etc/network/interfaces with "post-up /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eno1 wol g", replacing eno1 with the name of the interface.
