Abstract
A modem/gateway device is provided that includes a network interface configured to connect to and communicate with local area network (LAN) clients and Wi-Fi clients, a non-transitory memory configured to store instructions, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to monitor a connection status of the LAN clients and Wi-Fi clients connected to the network interface, and compare the connected LAN clients against a LAN client list and the connected Wi-Fi clients against a Wi-Fi client list. The mode of operation of the electronic device is controlled to be in a power savings mode when none of the connected LAN or none of the connected Wi-Fi clients is on the respective LAN or Wi-Fi client list, and is controlled to be in a normal power mode when any of the connected LAN or Wi-Fi clients is on the respective LAN or Wi-Fi client list.
