Is it possible to set up WoL on a normal desktop computer?

That varies depending on the computer/motherboard manufacturer and model. The manual may reference that feature but if not can go into BIOS/UEFI setup menu then browse through looking to see if there is any option to enable it. Also I’ve only used it with built-in NICs so not sure if it’s an option with add-on NIC.
