Hello,

 

Mid-July 2024 we switched from Netgear - R6900 to TP-Link - AX5400 Pro.

 

Ever since, our personal battery powered devices (all Apple - 2x Watch, 2x iPhone, and 2x iPad) have a poor battery performance. - No idea how much (more) power other connected devices might use...!?

 

My watch, for example, used to need a charge about every 3 days, and even then was barely in the high teens percentage on battery power remaining. Now, i can be lucky if it lasts a day.

 

Are there router settings on this unit one can check/change to influence power consumption on client devices? 
 

i found a few general articles eluding to "... bad router configuration can drain....battery..." - see here at ZDNET for example.

but i am uncertain if, where, or what to look for and change on this router!?

 

Thank you,

 

Stefan

Try the TWT setting and check how it goes for the client device power consumption:

Thank you very much for the information and included link. This sounds very promising! 
 

Unfortunately we wont be able to test for a couple of weeks since we just hit the road; i will report back my findings upon return and trialing a few days.

 

At our current location - different state, router/network - battery performance improved. That, i feel, confirms my suspicions for the router (settings) to be the culprit. We'll find out.

 

Thank you again for the tip.

 

Stefan
