Does anyone have cut-off problems when running on batteries?
If I log in using wireless and mains, I seem to get a stable connection, but If I sit at the same place and run on fully charged batteries, it seems to be far less reliable.
Is this normal?
When I get cut off, it appears that in my available networks. from the networking icon, Im shown as ‘connected’ but usually marked as ‘no internet access’.
All I have to do is disconnect and connect again, and Im back in, untill the next cut off.
This does not seem t happen on mains power.
Any ideas?
Thanks
(PS – Thanks for a useful forum.)
Fred232 – In advanced properties of the wireless adapter set the power save mode to ‘off’.
Example screen shot for the Atheros card below but you may have the Realtek card in your N220 but the principles will be similar.
You may also want to set the max processor state to 100% when on battery to prevent the processor being throttle back when on battery as this will increase performance.
Note: both the above fixes will reduce battery life a bit but the result should be worth it 🙂
Hope this helps
Unless I mis-read, I dont seem to have that setting in advanced.
The device is a ‘Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC’.
I just have:
80211.d – disable
beacon interval – 100
wireless mode – 80211 b/g/nIn power management, it does have an option for ‘allow the computer to turn off this device to save power’ which is ticked.
Is that the equivalent?
Thanks for your help.

Hope this helps and let us know how you get on.
that seems to be working OK so far.
Since unticking, I have not been cut-off.
still monitoring long term.
Thanks.
