The adapter smartly adjust transmission output by distance and CPU offload to help reduce  power  consumption when wireless is idle. With the green WLAN technology, the power consumption can be reduced up to 20%  ~ 50%.  The adapter does not just provide you with the best wireless technology in the world, it also  care for  the environment by using less energy and your pocket by saving up on your electric bills.
