Field Description
CAM Continuous Aware Mode (
CAM
) provides the best network performance, but yields
the shortest battery life.
Fast Power Save
Fast Power Save
(the default) performs in the middle of CAM and MAX Power Save
with respect to network performance and battery life.
MAX Power Save
Max Power Save
yields the longest battery life while potentially reducing network
performance. In networks with minimal latency, Max Power Save performs as well
as Fast Power Save, but with increased battery conservation.
