AP Power Saving Mode

Zyxel_JoyLee

This is a feature in wireless networks that helps save battery on Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, phones, or IoT devices.

How it works:

• Your device tells the Wi-Fi router (AP = Access Point) that it wants to save power.
• The router buffers incoming data instead of sending it immediately.
• Your device wakes up periodically to receive the buffered data.

Benefits:

• Extends battery life on mobile devices.
• Common in smartphones and laptops.

Downsides:

• Slightly higher latency (delayed packets).
• Not suitable for real-time apps like gaming or video calls
