| 1. | Navigate to Radio Profiles and configure the Supported Power Modes to SP. You can also modify radio profile settings when you configure a device template. | Allows a 6GHz AP to operate at SP. AP drops to Low Power Indoors (LPI) if AFC spectrum authorization is unavailable. The default setting is LPI. Note: APs that support SP/LPI fallback operate in LPI power mode until they're assigned spectrum information. Then they transition to SP power mode. SP-only APs keep Wi-Fi2 radio Off until the spectrum information is assigned. Then the Wi-Fi2 radio turns On in SP power mode.
