### Power Saving
If set, Bluetooth, Wifi, and screen (if applicable) are turned off. When using the Router device role, this setting is on by default. The assumption for a Router is that the device will be used in a standalone manner where these features are not needed, and will be shut off to conserve power. This is especially useful when a device is powered from a low-current source (i.e. solar).
:::warning
Enabling Power Saving will disable Bluetooth, Serial, and WiFi, preventing further changes to the device. Press the user button or reset the device to make changes.

If enabled, turns off Bluetooth, Serial, WiFi, and Screen. Useful when a device is powered from a low-current source (i.e. solar). To see device roles this is enabled for by default, visit [Device Config](/docs/configuration/radio/device).
