I-4. Slide switch
The EW-7438PTn includes a hardware slide switch
on the side of the device which can switch
between normal, green mode and off as shown in
the table below. “Wi-Fi power” refers to the
strength of the extender’s wireless radio signal.
If you are using the extender in a small or medium
sized space, you may not need the full power of
the wireless radio. Try it, and determine if you still
have sufficient Wi-Fi coverage using green mode.
If so, you can save some energy.
