Abstract
Embodiments are described herein that allow a playback device to transition between operating modes to, among other things, conserve power. In one aspect, a method is provided. The method involves determining that a playback device is operating in one of a powered mode and a battery mode. The powered mode comprises the playback device receiving power from an external source. The battery mode comprises the playback device receiving power from at least one battery. The method further involves causing the playback device to serve as a network bridge when the playback device is in the powered mode. The method further involves causing the playback device to serve as a client device and not serve as a network bridge when the playback device is in the battery mode.
