Although optional, descriptions can be helpful when you are troubleshooting your network.
Select the desired 802 specification from the Support Radio Modes menu.
To set the optimal maximum power level, enter a value for Maximum Transmit Power.
To set the minimum power level, enter a value for Transmission Power Floor.
To set the maximum value the radio power can drop below the current power level, enter a value for Transmission Power Drop.
To set the maximum number of wireless clients that can use the radio if the AP is permitted to change channels, enter a value for Maximum Number of Clients.
If the number of associated clients is equal to or less than this setting, and if the AP finds a better channel, it can switch to the new channel. Any associated clients will lose their connections and need to reconnect. If the number of clients exceeds this setting, the AP will not switch to the new channel. Whenever a client de-authenticates during the scheduled time range, the AP checks if the number of clients still exceeds this setting. If not, the AP switches channels. If the number of clients exceeds this setting for the entire defined channel switching period, the AP will not change channels.
Select SAVE RADIO PROFILE.

Now that you have completed the basic configuration, you can modify advanced radio profile settings. Remember to select SAVE RADIO PROFILE after changing advanced settings.
