i found the settings page and battery life very useful, if set to best battery it ditched the wifi and then had a 7 -10 second handshake before firing up again if set to best performance was better, however you also need to set it up on the studio page and download the settings, i found under power management the following worked best
on battery power
never
never
15 secs
20 percent
on mains power
never
never
15mins
20 percent

that also gave me about 8 hrs battery life when it was left out its cradle
depending on how much channel hopping was going on,
on a dull night it dropped to about 5 hours
lol
hope that helps
