6 SAVING ENERGY WITH YOUR TECHNICOLOR GATEWAY

Introduction
The Technicolor Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
The Technicolor Gateway
reduces the clock frequency of the central processor
when there is no or low user activity. This
lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption of the Technicolor Gateway.
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode
.
Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the Technicolor Gateway access point switches to power reduction mode, the access point is switched off and is only
power on periodically to be able to detect new clients. If new clients are detected the wireless access point is fully powered
again. This is only possible if there are no devices connected to the Technicolor Gateway.
Power reduction is disabled by default, but it is possible to enable it via the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
To enable power reduction:
1
Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.

Example
If we use the same example as in the previous section, you can see that the Technicolor Gateway is now able to further
reduce the power consumption in periods where less action is required from the Technicolor Gateway.
ECO button
If you are not using the wireless access point of your Technicolor Gateway, you might consider to disable the wireless access
point permanently. This allows you to further reduce the power consumption.
Enabling power reduction may have impact on the reliability of your wireless connection. This feature is intended for
advanced users only
