CsWol

CsWol is an advanced tool for network administrators who want to remotely wake up their hosts in LAN on demand. It's wrapped in a user-friendly interface and contains practical options, such as DNS lookup.

Setting it up doesn't take long. Just make sure you have .NET Framework installed, since it was built with the help of this platform.

CsWol adopts a large window with a simple design and neatly organized layout, where you can add as many hosts as you want to the list by specifying the host name, description, MAC address, and source interface of each entry.

It's capable of finding a remote computer by IP address or host name. Host properties can be edited anytime or their entries can be deleted from the list if you change your mind. Meanwhile, multiple selected PCs can be waken up at the same time.

The program features a host detection function that's able to look up DNS servers. It shows the current subnet and subnet settings with the IP range, sender, receiver and enabled status, giving you the possibility to add new IP addresses to the range. It can also be asked to ping unreachable hosts regularly (set the number of minutes for checkup).

We haven't come across any unpleasant surprises in our tests as far as stability is concerned, since the app didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on system resources, using a low amount of CPU and RAM.

Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Otherwise, CsWol comes packed with a promising set of options and configuration preferences for managing multiple hosts to wake up in LAN.
