It should stay online for days, not hours. Something is wrong with your setup. I would guess that the AP is somehow broken regards to WLAN Power Save Mode. Can you try with some other AP to see if it helps? Also make sure that N800 isn't transmitting anything extra, for example transmitting a packet every second would kill the battery quite quickly. Alternatively you could use a wireless sniffer to take a dump of WLAN level traffic and send it to me. I could take a look and see if there's something strange. It's a shame that there are so many broken APs on the market. I see lots of them when dealing with bug reports :( I guess WLAN Power Save Mode was really rare earlier, but fortunately nowadays it's getting more popular and AP manufactures have noticed the problem. -- Kalle Valo
