- The LAN LED may not be turned off if System is shoutdown
without disabling the WOL (Wake on LAN) option.

For Windows 8, Wake On LAN is not supported by Ping.
When connected to a 100Mbps/1Gbps wired LAN and the
computer exits Sleep/hibernation mode, a message appears
informing you of a connection to a 10Mbps/100Mbps
wired LAN. This happens because when the computer exits
standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about
3 seconds. When the network is restored, it operates at
100Mbps/1Gbps.
When system is running on battery, some time it may take
a few second extra after inserting LAN cable to be able to
connect to internet. This symptom happen as a result of
power saving feature to reduce battery consumption.
When system is running on battery, the Wired LAN speed
is decreased automatically to reduce battery consumption.
In such case, a 1Gbps /100Mbps LAN would function at
100Mbps/10Mbps speed.
