Transmit Power: The power depends on the distance of the devices in your wireless network. From the
drop-

Maximum: This setting will broadcast at the maximum allowed mW for the channel
selected if Obey Regulatory Power is checked. If Obey Regulatory Power is not checked,
then the maximum 30 dBm (1000 mW) will be broadcast.
o Automatic: This
setting will adjust the power of the access point based on the distance to
the furthest client device. The access point will lower its power if the furthest client is 10
feet away and will raise the power if the furthest client is 100 feet away.
