I'm confused that everybody in this forum says that this thing is not working.
For me it works out of the box. My setup is similar to yours, I guess.
My Jellyfin server is a clean Win10 installation. (WOL is active in the BIOS)
The PC is connected via LAN to a fritzbox.
All I did is changing the PCs ethernet ipv4 settings to use a static ip.
Set a subnetmask like 255.255.255.0 and set your standard gateway.
When starting a jellyfin client it wakes the PC automatically. (its idling while the PC is booting up)
This works with all clients. I'm using the smartphone app; the android tv app (on my nvidia shield); the jellyfin media player on some other pcs in my house and also with the jellyfin for kodi plugin on my nvidia shield.
To prevent entering sleep mode while streaming I use an app called coffee which runs in the background (I set a download threshold of 10 kb/s).
