Wake on Lan not working at all on Intel Ethernet (3) I225-V using 2.5GBPs ports

[calculator1]

I've got a B650E-I motherboard that comes with an Intel Ethernet (3) I225-V 2.5 GBPS ethernet - I've tried both the latest Asus drivers and newer Intel drivers directly from intel's website, with all UEFI/Windows settings set to enable Wake on Lan

I've tried 4 different apps to wake my pc from a MacBook that is directly connected to the pc with an ethernet cable (same subnet of 255.255.0.0 with similar static IP addresses) - this works on my other mini PC but for some reason not on the B650E-I motherboard built-in adapter??

• Device Properties > NIC > Advanced > Wake on Lan is checked, in Power Management all 3 options are checked (including magic packet)
• Static IP set under subnet 255.255.0.0
• UEFI > Advanced > AFM > Power on by PCI-E (Wake on Lan) is set to enabled
• UEFI > Advanced > Network Stack > Enabled (both IPv4 PXE support and IPv6 PXE support)
• Hibernation/Hybrid/Fast startup is disabled
• S3 sleep is enabled
• Wake up ports tried are 0, 7, 9, 13, 4343 but none of them make a difference, the Mac address is correct and I've triple checked this

I'm not sure what else I can do here, does anyone else have any suggestions on how to get this to work? I've also tried resetting the bios, there's nothing special setup there, I had it on ECO mode but I've disabled that too and tried it, no difference, what am I missing here?

I can see the packet being sent as the ethernet port flashes when I hit "send wake up magic packet" so it is being sent, but I think it is powered off in sleep as I can't detect is using a network scan, so perhaps it's not truly being powered on whilst in sleep mode? I've also tried unchecking "Allow Windows to put this device to sleep to save power" in the Power Management of NIC properties too

The motherboard is advertised as Wake on Lan compatible but it does not work at all, even when it's switched off.

If someone could help me solve this that would be great, Asus have been completely useless.
