"Power-saving mode" on network base station?
Just installed a wireless network , win98 on Base station router [DSL],
and winXP on Receiver card. Connection and speed is fine, but both computers are "ON" 24/7. My question is, can I use the "Power- saving mode" on both computers, or just the receiving one,or none? Does anyone have a recommendation, or is it just personal preference? |

"Power-saving mode" on network base station?
There's probably no reason not to use standby modes on the WinXP computer.
Whether or not it will work well on your Win98 computer probably depends on the network adapter and DSL service. Some don't mind standby mode, others will read it as a disconnect and may cause crankiness in re-connecting. -- Richard G.
