Configuring Radio Settings

Chapter 7

Setting the power level to local sets the client power level to that of the

access point.

Setting the power level to

Use the

no

form of the client power command to disable the maximum power

level for associated clients. Aironet extensions must be enabled to limit the power
level on associated client devices. Aironet extensions are enabled by default.

Configuring Radio Channel
Settings

The default channel setting for the wireless access point radios is least congested;
at startup, the wireless access point scans for and selects the least-congested
channel. For the most consistent performance after a site survey, however, we
recommend that you assign a static channel setting for each access point. The
channel settings on the wireless access point correspond to the frequencies
available in your regulatory domain. See the access point hardware installation
guide for the frequencies allowed in your domain.

TIP

The settings allowed in your regulatory domain can differ from the
settings listed here.

TIP

In places where RF interference can be causing clients to occasionally get
disconnected from the wireless network, setting the wireless interface to run
on a different channel, such as channel 1 (2412), can avoid the interference.
