Dear Daniel,

(1) What is the AP's beacon period and DTIM? Typical values are 100
TUs for beacons (102.4 ms) and 2 for DTIM (2 beacons per power-save
wakeup) which should imply a mean of 100 and max of 200 ms delay even
on pings.
I am using a WNDR3700 with default settings in terms of beacons/etc. No
issues with any device (laptop, computer, etc (in windows)), I have two
wireless USB adapters (bought two) and in Windows, no problems, I don't
think
it is the WNDR3700. As far as linux/wpa-supplicant, using default settings.
Not enough info. What does "iw dev wlan1 scan dump" (it might not be
wlan1 for you) say for "beacon interval"?

Does anyone know how to get the DTIM period out of iw?

(2) How long does the client wait after waking up to go back to sleep?
It should be at least a few seconds. For ssh, then, you should see
something like a 100-200 ms delay for the first key and then nothing
at all unless you stop typing for a bit.
It lags with each word I type, it is terrible. If I run something like
dmesg or ps auxww, the entire session freezes for 5-10 seconds before it
comes back.
Sorry; I meant what is the software stack configured to do? Do some
looking around.
What do you mean here?

Best regards!
