Transmit Power
This setting determines the power level of radio transmission.
Note Government regulations define the highest allowable power level for radio
devices. This setting must conform to established standards for the country in
which you use the access point.
To reduce interference or to conserve power, select a lower power setting. The
settings in the drop-down menu on 350 series access points include 1, 5, 20, 50,
and 100 milliwatts. The settings in the drop-down menu on 340 series access
points include 1, 5, and 30 milliwatts.
Note The power settings available on your access point depend on the regulatory
domain for which the access point is configured. Your power settings might be
different from the settings listed here.
