Description
This is a little tool which enables you to send a Magic Package from your Synology DSM to wake up any PC on your network.
It was originally written by Axl, but I enhanced it a bit:
- Optimized for touchscreens (run button, bigger buttons)
- You can now tap on the run button instead of double tapping
- Added German translation
- Added Package centre icon

Latest version
1.2 (08. March 2013)
Installation
- Download the WOL package below and install it through the DSM package interface.
- Also you will have to install PERL. It is provided by Synology and should be visible in the DSM package interface.
- Starting with DSM 4.2 (and in case of issues with DSM 4.1), you also have to install the ExtJS package:
Download ExtJS package from the link below and install it through the DSM package interface.
Alternatively, you can get it from download.huihoo.com/extjs/
In that case you will have to extract it manually into the folder /usr/syno/synoman/scripts/extjs/ on your DiskStation (create the folders if they do not exist yet).
(Thank goes to Dirk for this tip!)
Note:
Both packages are no continuously running scripts. Therefore they can not be permanently started in the package interface! Both always will stow status „stopped“. This is completely fine!
If somebody knows how to fix this in the package meta data, please let me know.
Troubleshooting
If you have issues on not getting it working (or the Database entries do not show up), follow those instructions:
- Remove WOL, ExtJS and Perl (and all packages which depend on it)
- In the DSM settings, go to DSM Settings and select the tab Security. Then de-select the option Improve protection against cross-site forgery attacks
- Restart your Diskstation
- Install the packages again in this order:
1) Perl
2) ExtJS
3) WOL
After that it should work again (Tested with DSM4.2.3211 and DSM4.33776)!
Updates
I am not planing to write any update. I am not using it myself anymore (no usage for it at the moment). How ever the source code is free and anybody can give it a try (just download the package and unzip it).
Since many people complain about its issues and are begging for updates, I might start a donation list. If there are enough people willing to donate a fee of 5..10 $, I might invest some of my free time for a rewrite. Keep in mind, nothing is for free. For all the free software we can just download, somebody is investing a lot of free time!

good morning,
thanks to IQ for the tip!
but i deinstalled it first and then reinstalled…
now all my configured pc’s are away.
and i can’t make new entries.
the „please login as admin…“ won’t show anymore, but i cannot add new pc’s 🙁
sorry, i found it… the window was too small 🙁
solution for “Please login as admin first, before using this webpage”
uncheck den „Schutz gegen Cross-Site-Request-Forgery-Attacken verbessern“ (Systemsteuerung > DSM-Einstellungen > Sicherheit).
sorry I have a german enviroment 😉
Hi I just installed the perl , ExtJS and WOL and it says „Please login as admin first, before using this webpage “ I am on DSM 4.3 is there something that I am missing. I have logged in as admin on the diskstation.
Hi has anyone got this to work with DSM 4.3 ???
I have not tried any other version (yet). I’m out of town until next week (I don’t want to accidentally do something wrong while being away).
Same problem with „… login as admin …“.
Any solutions?
I found a workaround – its not pretty but it works
You need to disable the protection against cross-site-request-forgery-attacks in dsm-settings/security
Then you need to log-off and on again
this should make the the wake on lan gui partially visible – but accessable through the browser.
To make the wol request you have to give the following command in the address field of your browser:
https://YOURDISKSTATION:YOURPORT/webman/3rdparty/wol/index.cgi?wol_mac=YOURMACADRESS
Did you try only version 1.1.1 or also versions available on http://download.huihoo.com/extjs/ ??
I also get this message after reinstalling: „Please login as admin first, before using this webpage “
I am logged in as admin
What little research I did, I can see is that ExtJS will not start. Nothing in the logs either.
Receiving the same here. I normally have my admin account disabled and use my other accounts. So, I enabled the admin account and logged in. I ran into the same error as above..
I also confirm that Upgrading to DSM version 4.3 gives the error message „Please login as admin first, before using this webpage“. Restarting the NAS doesn’t work.
Getting an error since i’ve update DSM to version 4.3 When launching the application i’m getting this error: „Please login as admin first, before using this webpage“
I have Perl installed but WOL still does not work!
See my reply to Dorks post!
It looks like the Perl package has to be installed in DSM 4.2 via the package center.
It was standard installed in previous versions, but now you need to install it manually from the package center.
After installation, everything should work again.
I can confirm that it now seems to work again.
It looks like as if all 3 packages should be installed properly again:
Remove WOL, ExtJS and Perl (and all packages which rely on it).
Then install it again in this order:
Perl, ExtJS, WOL.
After that it worked again for me (DSM4.2.3211)!
Hi, thanks for this overview. Do you know if it will run on latest DSM 4.3 beta?
Doesn´t work in DSM 4.3 Beta. Extjs 1.1.1 doesn´t run.
George. Hello from Russia.
I’am upgraded and it dosn’t work now. Thank you for your time spend to fix that.
Hi Aleksei
As you might have seen, I do not know why it is broken. Also I do not have the time to fix it at the moment.
(Updated)
So today I finally also updated to the recent DSM 4.2-3211.
Where at the first try, it worked still fine, it suddenly also stopped to work for me.
I expect that the update breaks it but it somehow still used some cached data from my browser 🙁
I don’t know where the issue is nor do I have the time to trace it down!
If anybody has a hint or gets it working again, please let me know…
Hello, I had the same issue. It helps me to uninstall and install again both packages (wol+extjs)
