(also referred to as channel width) to provide the best channel for the access point. For
information about how to configure auto channel allocation, including the option to skip
auto channel allocation if there is a heavy traffic load or voice activity, see
Channels on page 73.
• Auto transmission power. Automatically determines the optimum transmit power of an
access point based on the coverage requirement. The access point scans its
neighborhood to determine the RF environment to minimize neighboring access point
interference, leakage across floors, and coverage holes. For information about how to
configure auto transmission power, including coverage hole detection, see
Management on page 75.
When configuring self healing, NETGEAR recommends the following:
• Configure self healing wait time to a value greater than access point reboot time, usually
a minute. This allows for fluctuations in the power of nearby access points when access
points are rebooted.
• The number of neighbors to participate in healing should not be very large (3-4 usually
suffices in most deployments). This avoids too many access points increasing power for a
single failed access point.
