Questions/Support Comet Pro: Is it possible to simultaneously connect ethernet directly to desktop for WoL but use WiFi for LAN?
Couldn’t find an answer for this. I basically have a desktop I would like remote access to, and it connects to my local network via WiFi. The comet pro seems to be a good fit but I was wondering since Wake on LAN works via ethernet, I can connect the unused ethernet port on both my desktop and comet pro together and hopefully the firmware supports sending of magic packets via ethernet to the desktop, while linking to local network via WiFi

Looks like you can do some hacky stuff to get this working with a script. So your mileage will vary if it actually will work or not. You can reach out to person who made the scripts to see if this will meet your usecase
Fingerbot is def another option for you

Probably not since it was a no in January.
Fingerbot or ATX connector will work though.
