Configuring Radio Transmit Power
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the transmit power on your access point
radio:
Use the no form of the power command to return the power setting to maximum, the default setting.
Limiting the Power Level for Associated Client Devices
You can also limit the power level on client devices that associate to the access point. When a client
device associates to the access point, the access point sends the maximum power level setting to the
client.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to specify a maximum allowed power setting on
all client devices that associate to the access point:
Use the no form of the client power command to disable the maximum power level for associated clients.
Note Aironet extensions must be enabled to limit the power level on associated client devices. Aironet
extensions are enabled by default.
