Yes I have done this according to yorg's instructions on the second page of this thread. Reducing the power to the wi-fi will make the battery last longer but will effect the range and perhaps speed of the connection to the router.

it should give you the percentage.

To enable power saving on the wfi follow the steps:

Settings -> Internet Connections -> Connections

Select your wifi connection and press Edit then :

Next - > Next -> Next -> Advanced

Then click on the Other tab and change WLAN transmission power to 10 mW and power saving to On (maximum)

press Save - > Finish -> Done -> Save

You should be ready now.

In any case, make sure you disable the wifi when it is not needed

I hope this helps
