Power Saving Ethernet Shield

Hi All,

I want to supply low power to Ethernet Module during daytime...but in a different way

I want to try it by connecting RESET of Ethernet Module to GND using BJT for longer duration....
I know i can do it by on/off 5V (to Module, using BJT) but due to my unexpected design mistake and other reasons..I can't (for now, for this model)

So my question is..

  1. By setting reset LOW for longer duration's...will it create any issue or damage Ethernet shield in the long run?

And...
2) Will some power will be saved by doing this? Too much or Not much? :slight_smile:
