Question
How do I disable Energy Efficient Ethernet on my G54 gateway?
Answer
During periods of low Internet activity, the Energy Efficient Ethernet feature reduces power consumption by 50% or more while retaining full compatibility with existing equipment.  By default, the Energy Efficient Ethernet is enabled in the G54.  This document describes how to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet using the Web Manager.

NOTE: The Energy Efficient Ethernet feature is available on the four 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports. 

Disable Energy Efficient Ethernet
  1. Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.  Enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address box, and press the Enter key.     
     
  2. A security or private risk alert may appear on the web browser advising users to proceed with caution when accessing the Web Manager.  There is no risk in proceeding to the Web Manager.  For instructions to bypass the alert screen, refer to article 18181 - Alert Message for Web Manager Access.
