Using the Command Line Interface transmit-power This command adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the access point. Syntax transmit-power signal-strength - Signal strength transmitted from the access point. (Options: full, half, quarter, eighth, min) Default Setting full Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless) 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.
