What is the Power saving option in the new WifiInfo 0.7?
It has on/off options, but nothing happens when clicking on it.

Power Saving is a protocol not supported by FON and various older access points. To work with one of these you'd have to turn off power saving. I don't seem to able to find where manually to do that anymore. Perhaps the last upgrade automated detecting if power saving was available. Since it's controlled by a protocol that would have been easy to do.

therefor one see product after product rolled out or replace "old" ones that would work fine if some firmware errors where corrected.
this because products sold register on the income side, maintenance registers on the expenses side. that is as long as you cant get some kind of service contract with another business or government office. the public do not go for those kinds of things, "cheap bastards"...
this then fuels the e-waste cycle...
