I had unstable connections and poor speeds on my laptop, and power |
| 24 |
saving turned out to be the reason why. Some cards have intermediate |

power-saving levels, too, which might give you a good compromise |

between performance and battery life, if battery life is even a |
| 27 |
concern. |
