Extend Battery Life; Adjust Wi-Fi Settings To Optimize Battery Life - NETGEAR Telstra Wi-Fi 4G Advanced II AirCard 790S User Manual

Extend Battery Life

The mobile hotspot, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. The following factors
affect battery life:
• Standby time.
• Data throughput.
• Mobile broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life).
• Wi-Fi range.
• Dual-band Wi-Fi (when all of your devices support 5 GHz Wi-Fi, dual-band Wi-Fi allows
faster downloads but uses more power.
• Guest Wi-Fi, when enabled, uses more power.
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:
• Adjust Wi-Fi settings.
• Adjust display settings.
• Use tethered USB.
• Use airplane mode.
• Use only for jump-boost.

Adjust Wi-Fi Settings to Optimize Battery Life

If the devices you are connecting to your Wi-Fi network are always close to your hotspot,
shorten the Wi-Fi range. Set the standby timer to a shorter period to reduce the amount of
time to wait when no devices are connected to either Wi-Fi network before going into standby
mode (the Wi-Fi radio turns off).
Note: When you change the Wi-Fi settings, any devices connected to the
hotspot are disconnected and might need to be reconnected.
