A field inspector's tablet shows reduced WLAN throughput when the vendor driver's power-save mode is set aggressively, and throughput recovers when power-save is relaxed. What is the takeaway?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Ultra-aggressive power-save is like the radio napping between every sentence—great for battery, rough for speed. Ease the power-save setting and the pipe opens back up. Battery versus performance is a real tradeoff on field tablets.
Full Explanation
Client WLAN drivers implement power-save behaviors that can delay frame delivery and reduce effective throughput when set too aggressively. Observing recovery after relaxing power-save isolates a driver/config performance issue. Technicians should balance battery needs against application throughput requirements.
