WAP4410N Output Power Setting?

[dledwards]

I have a WAP4410N and would like to turn down the power output below 100%.

It has a very strong signal, and is covering our small office and half the parking lot.

In the Administration Guide, under FAQs, it mentions a setting for output power but I cannot find this setting.

The SW version is 2.0.0.5, and that seems to be the latest version  - the file I downloaded is WAP4410N-fw-2.0.0.5-K9.img but I haven't installed it yet.

Any thoughts?  Thanks,

I did some research on your request, and found out that the option to adjust the transmit power settings within the advanced wireless tab is not available for that version of firmware on the WAP4410N. I will place a request into my escalation team and see if they can have the software developers add that option into the AP. Since there is not ETA on the releasing of firmware on this device, I would recommend that you keep checking our web site for the new release.

Thanks,

hello,

were you able to contact your development team?

we really need to have that option available, either by GUI or via CLI.

thanks

Count me in as a second on requesting that there be a power output setting. I'm going to have to redo the layout of where I'll put my access points to prevent channel overlap in one of my offices.

Thanks in advance for a reply

Count me in for this request also. You can set the power level at the cli: "iwconfig ath00 txpower " but that doesn't survive a reboot.

since i am not rebooting my AP very often -- your solution may work until permanent solution is found.

can you tell me is number referring to percentage of full power (say 50%) or is it number of milliwatts?

thanks
