  1. Log into the Wireless Assistant.
  2. From the top menu, click AP.
    The screen is displayed.
  3. Select AP in the left pane, then in the list, click the whose properties you want to modify.
  4. Click the Radio 1 tab.
  5. Max Tx Power is automatically determined based on regulatory domain/country, antenna selected, line attenuation configured, channel and certification testing. Max Tx Power refers to:
    • Current channel if the radio is up and Request New Channel is not set
    • Request Channel if it is set to a supported channel
    • If Request New Channel is set to Auto, then Max Tx Power is limited to the lowest power channel configured in the Channel plan.
