Introduction
The TG589vn v3 constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power consumption:
For example:
The TG589vn v3
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 TG589vn v3.
Disable the USB port(s)
when they are not used
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode
.
Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the TG589vn v3 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 TG589vn v3.
Power reduction is enabled by default, but it is possible to disable it via the TG589vn v3 GUI. To configure power reduction:
1
Browse to the TG589vn v3 GUI.

Example
If we use the same example as in the previous section, you can see that the TG589vn v3 is now able to further reduce the
power consumption in periods where less action is required from the TG589vn v3.
