COMMAND USAGE
◆ The “min” keyword indicates minimum power.
◆ The longer the transmission distance, the higher the transmission
power required. But to support the maximum number of users in an
area, you must keep the power as low as possible. Power selection is
not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum supported
clients. You also have to ensure that high strength signals do not
interfere with the operation of other radio devices in your area.
