Field Description
CAM Continuous Aware Mode (CAM) provides the best network performance, but
yields the shortest battery life.
Fast Power Save Fast Power Save (the default) performs in the middle of CAM and MAX Power
Save with respect to network performance and battery life.
MAX Power Save Max Power Save yields the longest battery life while potentially reducing network
performance. In networks with minimal latency, Max Power Save performs as well
as Fast Power Save, but with increased battery conservation.
