Green Access Point

A green access point uses power efficiently to reduce wasteful energy consumption and help protect the environment.

To configure power efficiency

1. To increase power efficiency, toggle the Enable Green AP option on the DEVICE | Internal Wireless > Advanced page. This setting is disabled by default.
2. In the Green AP Timeout(s) field, enter the number of seconds to wait after no clients are associated before entering power saving mode. The range is 20 to 65535. The default is 20 seconds.
3. Click Accept to apply your changes. Click Restore Default Settings to return to the default settings.
