I had two Raspberry Pi Zero W’s in my hands in a few days. Instead of ordering from overseas, paying USD and waiting for ages, ordering from these guys is quick and easy. They’re a local Aussie start-up and sell all the coolest stuff from AdaFruit, SparkFun, Raspberry Pi Foundations and heaps more. I bought mine from the awesome guys at Core Electronics. At 65mm by 30mm, it dwarfs the original ‘tiny’ Raspberry Pi. “I can’t believe it actually runs Linux”, sort of tiny. One of their latest IoT devices is the Raspberry Pi Zero W and it’s tiny. ![]() It’s not as silly as it sounds, because of the internet-of-things and the truly amazing work of the Raspberry Pi foundation. #Raspberry pi zero w wol wake on lan PcWhat about a simple reset? These things are taken for granted when you’re physically near the machine.Īfter years of struggling with variable levels of success with W-O-L, I decided to fix the problem by fitting a second PC inside my home computer. That’s all possible if your machine hasn’t crashed or frozen, with a kernel panic or just the old-fashioned BSOD. “Ah-ha”, you might say, “log on remotely and issue a shutdown command”. Then, of course, it’s called wake-on-LAN, not sleep-on-LAN, so there’s no way to turn it off again. Of course, if you suspend and then lose AC power not only can you not restart, it may also corrupt your system. It does seem to work well for the suspend modes (S1-S3), but then you’re consuming more power than an S5 soft-off state. ![]() #Raspberry pi zero w wol wake on lan windowsOn some motherboards, it won’t work if you issue a shutdown command, and Windows and Linux can operate differently, even on the same motherboard. It won’t work from a cold-start, that is the first time you power cycle the PC. You can switch on your PC without needing to touch it, and have it available when you need it without it using power constantly. Using cheap power supplies off eBay is not recommended, as they often provide uneven and noisy current leading to unreliable operation.Wake-on-LAN is a great tool and allows your home PC to seem almost cloud-like. Similar CanaKit or mobile chargers should suffice. If unsure, use the official Raspberry Pi 15W USB-C power supply (5.1V / 3.0A DC). Most people find at least a 1A (1.6A+ for rpi4) is required, especially if adding USB peripherals like keyboard, mouse, or wifi. The power figures quoted are the bare minimum to run the SoC with no peripherals. Now you should be able to log in via telnet, SSH, or HTTP to set your password. In order to set it up with a fixed IP different from the default 192.168.1.1 do the following: ![]() #Raspberry pi zero w wol wake on lan serialIn order to set it up as a DHCP client, attach a serial console and do the following: If it is not possible to resolve the IP conflict read further… #Raspberry pi zero w wol wake on lan passwordOnce you have access to the OpenWrt you can set password and enable DHCP. In that case if possible change the gateway IP to something else, then try accessing using the default static IP address of 192.168.1.1 using SSH or HTTP. It is highly likely that the gateway (router) to which the Raspberry Pi is connected has the same IP of 192.168.1.1 By default the DHCP client is disabled and the IP address is configured as static 192.168.1.1Īfter having flashed OpenWrt like described above, you can reach the OpenWrt via Ethernet by using the IP address 192.168.1.1 It might be tricky to connect via Ethernet for the first time.
