adapters operating in Infrastructure mode. There are two transmission power
options available in Infrastructure mode: Automatic and Power Plus.

adapter. Automatic mode is the default mode for adapters operating in
Infrastructure mode.

power level, that is the level used by the adapter.

power level for the adapters operating in Ad Hoc or Enhanced Ad Hoc mode.
There are five transmission power options available in Ad Hoc and Enhanced
