Change the output power for a radio

By default, the output power of the access point is set at the maximum. If two or more
access points are operating in the same area and on the same channel, interference
can occur. In such a situation, you might want to decrease the output power for the
access point. Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio
frequency (RF) output power in your country.
To change the output power for a radio:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
