Thanks, yes i realise the SB3 is not a clock and has no RTC like the boom, that was a badly worded example. What i mean is it will wake the server when it tries to contact the server for -anything-. If i switch the SB3 to SN, then probably not. I would still have to set all my players to SN at the same time, but even then other devices on my network can cause it to wake if i set "Only allow management stations to wake this computer", such as my laptop (as soon as i turn it on scanning for network drives etc will wake it). Basically any packet whatsoever destined for my server IP will. So it's not really an option for me.
