What's the point of this? Genuine question.
It probably supports WoL already?
It does supports WoL. Well, the OLED one supports WoL over WiFi, the LCD doesn't. But it doesn't support queuing an install on a currently offline device.
Even disregarding the tens of minutes it takes for the app to realize that my Deck has come online after I wake it up for me to be able to install a game on it from my phone, i can't really WoL it when I'm not home.
How great life would be if consumer routers came with vpn servers by default.
Seems like a very niche case to me unfortunately and I would be very surprised if they implemented something like this in later models
