WiFi range
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:

Adjust display settings.
Adjust WiFi Settings to Optimize Battery Life

shorten the WiFi range. Set the standby timer to a shorter period
to reduce the amount of
time that no devices are connected to either WiFi network before the hotspot goes into
standby mode (the WiFi radio turns off).
