Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for managing thermal efficiency of a network device. A power consumption table may be used to determine configurations of a set of parameters for achieving different power consumption levels for the network device. The network device may establish a network connection with a user device according to a first configuration of the set of parameters that achieves a first power consumption level. Based on a temperature of the network device exceeding a threshold based on the first network connection, the network device may determine a second power consumption level that is lower than the first power consumption level. The network device may consult the power consumption table to determine a second configuration of the set of parameters that achieves the second power consumption level and establish a second network connection with the user device according to the second configuration.
