The EW-7478AC includes a hardware
switch on the underside of the device
which can switch between normal, green
mode and sleep mode as shown in the
table below. “Wi-Fi power” refers to the
strength of the extender’s wireless radio
signal (Tx).

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.
