With Lion wake up on wifi doesn't work on my 2010 Mac Mini

As you probably know, the setting is under "Energy Saver Preferences".

The only problem is that it doesn't seem to work at the moment. I'm lodging a bug report on this one... I suggest that you do too, if you want it to be a priority for getting fixed.

I filed a bug report as well.

Is this supposed to work? I've seen references that say this only works with an Apple router, ie Airport Extreme or Time Capsule. If so, Apple should more clearly state that. One of the reasons I bought a 2011 Mini with Lion was because of this feature. Apple routers are not sufficiently capable since they do not support QoS needed by common VOIP services in this day and age.

Same problem here! Very inconvenient on my media center Mac Mini. The TouchPad iPad app could also wake my Mini under SL - no longer works with Lion. I hope Apple fixes this...

Using Airport Extreme?

Yes, AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Generation - Gibabit Ethernet model)

Just another me too. Waking my Mid-2009 MacBook Pro via Wifi (2.4 GHz 802.11n with Time Capsule as base station) worked under Snow Leopard but now not working under Lion. The wake command is issued from Apple Remote Desktop Admin application running on a Mac Pro using wired ethernet on another of the Time Capsule's ports. Unfortunately, both machines were upgraded to Lion at the same time, so I can't at present determine whether the issue is affected by the change to Lion on either the sending or receiving machine.

Same here on mbp early 2011 running 10.7.2.

Reseting SMC solved.

Is there any updates with Wake over wifi not working? I have the latest mac mini with lion and I can't get it to work.

Same here. It's still broken. My MacMini will not wake on network access since moving to Lion. It's very annoying having to manually wake up the mini for iTunes Home Sharing and impossible to wake it up remotely to stream media if I'm not at home.

Any improvement in this issue?

I have the same problem, with lion, with airport extrem, ..., well, the same situated as you.

Hello another time

I have changed the contents of one library file and all I working like n SL.

I hope the same solution works for all of you.

OK, so I found a fix which worked for me. I had to change the channel on my Airport base station.

It turns out the issue was an obscure wifi problem caused by neighbouring wifi access points with incorrect country codes. What would happen is the MacBook Pro would see the beacon from these wifi access points, change its channel list to the US setting, and therefore being unable to see the channel I was using (channel 13, perfectly valid in most EU countries).

So just changing the wifi channel on my airport base station to one also used in the US (i.e. channel 1-11) worked. This also solved a problem with the MacBook Pro intermittently not seeing the base station on a normal wakeup from opening the lid.
