Infrastructure Mode

Adjusting the Radio Transmission Power level enables you to expand or confine the

Reducing a coverage area in high traffic areas improves transmission quality by reducing

the number of noises in that coverage area.

•

Select Automatic to use the AP power level. Automatic is the default mode for

terminals operating in Infrastructure mode.

the maximum power level.
