When connected to a 100 Mbps/1 Gbps wired LAN, a
message appears informing the user of connection to
a 10 Mbps/100 Mbps wired LAN when the computer
wakes from sleep mode. This happens because
restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the
network is restored, the computer will be connected to
the 100 Mbps/1 Gbps LAN.
•
When the system is running on battery power, it may
take a few seconds for the connection to be established
when connecting a LAN cable. This is the result of
power saving features designed to reduce battery
consumption.
•
When the system is running on battery power, the
speed of a wired LAN is decreased automatically
to reduce battery consumption. In this case, a
1 Gbps/100 Mbps LAN would function at the speed of a
100 Mbps/10 Mbps connection.
