A networking apparatus and method capable of wake-on-LAN after improper shutdown, used in a networked device. The networking apparatus at least comprises a physical layer and a medium access control (MAC) layer. When the MAC layer detects that the networked device is going to shutdown the MAC layer outputs a reset signal to the physical layer or to the switch electrically connected to the physical layer. The physical layer resets according to the reset signal. After the reset, the network apparatus operates in a lower predetermined baud, so that the networked device has the enough power to execute the wake-on-LAN function.
