Figured how to do it on boot, add this script to

> /etc/network/if-up.d/

And don´t forget to set exec permissions:

> chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/powersave\_off (or whatever name you put to it)

set -e

```
# Don't bother for loopback
if ["$IFACE" = lo]; then
        exit 0
fi

# Only run from ifup.
if ["$MODE" != start]; then
        exit 0
fi

# Only do it once (skip for inet6).
if ["$ADDRFAM" != inet]; then
        exit 0
fi

/sbin/iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

exit 0

```

I found the solution here: [GitHub - fordsfords/wlan\_pwr: Improve CHIP wireless perf and reliability by turning off power mgt](https://github.com/fordsfords/wlan_pwr)
