Abstract
An electronic device for managing gateways comprises: a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium which contains executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to: determine whether the current time falls within the specified sleep time interval; in response to determining that the current time falls within the specified sleep time interval, determine whether the first extender node among one or a plurality of extender nodes is in an idle connection state, wherein the idle connection state includes: the first extender node being not connected to any client, or the first extender node being only connected to a sleeping client; and sending a sleep command to the first extender node based at least in part on the idle connection state of the first extender node, wherein the sleep command instructs the first extender node to power off a wireless network interface of the first extender node.
