Mode |
| Maximum mode causes the access point to buffer incoming messages |
|
| for the wireless adapter. The adapter up periodically polls the access |
|
| point to see if any messages are waiting. |
|
| Normal uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then |
|
| switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets. |
|
| Off turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless adapter |
|
| continuously for a short message response time. |
