Hi,

I switched recently to my homebuilt AP running FreeBSD 9.
I'm using run(4) in AP mode and it works well except I have issue with
battery consumption of mobile devices associated to it.

Battery discharges rapidly, several times faster than on old AP.

Does anybody else have/had similar issue?

Is there anything what can be tweaked to improve this?

Thanks,

Damjan
