dual band wireless-ac 8265 will not stay asleep - WOWLAN issues

[JJohn95]

wake on lan is working fine with my wired network on the same computer, but with the same settings for WowLan on W10 (in the driver settings: enable wake on magic packet, and checking only allow wake on magic packet in power settings) the computer is waking up 5 to 20 minutes after it goes to sleep.

Since its working perfectly for the wired setup on the same computer, I assume my windows is setup correctly, and the issue is with the wireless somehow, but I'm not sure how to correct it. Ive also disabled wake on pattern match in the driver settings. The windows event viewer also shows the wireless adapter is reasonsible for waking the computer, but doesn't indicate why. Help appreciated, thanks!

Hello JJohn95 Thank you for waiting. - How do you know the wireless adapter is waking up the computer? Can you provide more inside on the behavior? Does the behavior happens when the system is only connecting with the wireless (no wired network)? - Did you check with other devices if the same behavior happens? - Can you test on a different router if the system wakes on the wireless connection?
