transmit-power
This command adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the access
point.

Command Mode

Command Usage
• The “min” keyword indicates minimum power.
• The longer the transmission distance, the higher the transmission power
required. But to support the maximum number of users in an area, you
must keep the power as low as possible. Power selection is not just a trade
off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also have
to ensure that high strength signals do not interfere with the operation of
other radio devices in your area.
Example
radio-mode
This command forces the operating mode for the 802.11g wireless interface.
Syntax

with the access point, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at
802.11b standard rates (up to 11 Mbps).
• g - g-only mode: Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the access
point (up to 54 Mbps).
• b+g - b & g mixed mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can
communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps).
