I want to switch on a remote computer running debian linux connected behind a wireless router through LAN with my laptop which is connected to the router over a wireless connection. I have wakeonlan installed it gives Support Wake-on as "pumbg" and wake-on as "g" when i run ethtool command through terminal. Please help.

Nope. See, the problem is that this would require something on the computer to listen to a wake up IP packet.

SAdly, WakeOnLan support is not based on IP but on special ethernet packets, and those will not traverse the router.

If you can log into your router and issue a wake on lan from there, it would work. But then... this is not a professional setup, and thus off topic on this site.
