Configuring Radio Transmit
Power

Radio transmit power is based on the type of radio or radios installed in your
access point and the regulatory domain where it operates.

Use this table to determine what transmit power, and the translation relationship
between mW and dBm.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the transmit power
on access point radios.

1. Enter global configuration mode.

configure terminal

2. Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.

The 2.4 GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5 GHz radio is radio 1.
The 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio is 0, and the 5 GHz 802.11n radio is 1

3. Set the transmit power for the 802.11b, 2.4 GHz radio or the 5 GHz radio

to one of the power levels allowed in your regulatory domain.

power local

These options are available for the 802.11b, 2.4 GHz radio (in mW):

{ 1 | 5 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 | maximum }

These options are available for the 5 GHz radio (in mW):

{ 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 | maximum }

These options are available for the 802.11a, 5 GHz radio (in dBm):

{-1 | 2 | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 15 | 17 | maximum }

These options are available for the 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio (in dBM):

{ -1 | 2 | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20| 23 | maximum }

These options are available for the 5 GHz 802.11n radio (in dBm):

{ -1 | 2 | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 | maximum }

4. Set the transmit power for the 802.11g, 2.4 GHz radio to one of the power

levels allowed in your regulatory domain. Settings are in dBm.

On the 2.4 GHz, 802.11g radio, you can set Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) power levels and Complementary Code Keying (CCK)
