Formula Vii Wake On Lan doesn't work - why?

[SonInEm]

So I'm trying to get WOL to work with no luck. I enabled it in the BIOS (running the latest f/w). I've got an Asus N65-U Router, where under Network Tools -- Wake on LAN, you can define which computers you want to wake up. I selected my target machine but nothing happens. Anyone have ideas on what to do here?

Well, that sucks! Below, for others

In Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, the default shutdown behavior puts the system into the hybrid shutdown state (S4), and all devices are put into D3. WOL from S4 or S5 is unsupported. Network adapters are explicitly not armed for WOL in either S5 or S4 cases because users expect zero power consumption and battery drain in the shutdown state. This behavior removes the possibility of invalid wake-ups when an explicit shutdown is requested. Therefore, WOL is supported only from sleep (S3) or hibernation (S4) states in Windows 8 and 8.1.
