Power Save Mode
This property turns the Station Power Save
feature on or off, or sets it to Auto. When in
Auto mode, the station enters Power Save
based on the battery condition (XP only) on
the host. Power Save Mode decreases the
amount of power consumed by the adapter
by powering off the radio for short periods.
Enabling Power Save Mode trades off
performance for battery life.
• Auto Dynamic – specifies Disable mode
when on AC power and Dynamic mode
when on battery
• Auto Maximum – specifies Disable mode

Note: Auto Dynamic and Auto Maximum require NDIS
5.1 or later, typically available only on Windows XP.
• Disabled – specifies continuous access mode
and is the default
• Dynamic – specifies a fast power saving
mode that provides the best combination of
performance and power usage
• Maximum – specifies the greatest power
saving mode
