refer to your ISP or router documentation.
Acer Instant Connect

your computer connects to most frequently.
Power management
This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors system
activity, such as activity involving one or more of the following devices:
keyboard, mouse, hard disk, peripherals connected to the computer, and
video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of time, the computer
stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve energy.
Acer Green Instant On
The Acer Green Instant On feature allows your computer to wake up from
Sleep mode in less than the time it takes to open the lid. When you close
the lid, or leave your computer for a while, your computer enters Sleep
mode. While the computer is in Sleep mode, the power indicator LED will
flash orange.
Open the lid or press any key to wake the computer from Sleep mode.
After a certain amount of time in Sleep mode, the computer will
automatically enter Deep Sleep to preserve battery life. When the computer
is in Deep Sleep, the power indicator LED will be turned off. In this state,
battery remains ready to use for many weeks.
Your computer should wake from Deep Sleep when you open the lid.
Otherwise, press the power button.
Note: Once in Deep Sleep, your PC will consume significantly less
power compared with Sleep mode, but it will take a little longer to
wake up from Deep Sleep.
