Answer | During periods of low data activity, Energy Efficient Ethernet allows for less power consumption by 50% or more while retaining full compatibility with existing equipment. Â By default Energy Efficient Ethernet is disabled in the SBG6950AC2. Â Energy Ethernet Efficient is an advanced feature and should not be set unless requested by the Internet service provider. Â When Energy Ethernet Efficient is enabled the SBG6950AC2 will consume less power during periods of low data activity. Â This document describes how to enable Energy Efficient Ethernet.
