A new city hall AP ships with transmit power at maximum. The design calls for a lower dBm value to limit overcoverage. What should the technician configure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Max power is not a personality trait—it is a coverage bomb. Dial TX power to the design number so clients do not glue to a far AP. “Louder” is not the same as “better.”
Full Explanation
Transmit power must follow the design document. Leaving radios at maximum can create overcoverage, increase interference, and encourage sticky clients that cling to a distant AP. CWTS technicians apply the specified power level during initial configuration rather than assuming maximum is always best.
