Cisco 1300 Wireless Bridge/APs

[cboland]

I was wondering why the 1300 30mW power limitation when running at the 802.11G speeds? Is there some type of regulation around this?

Thanks.

Maximum power setting will vary according to individual country regulations.

Also equipment too. AP 1200 in 802.11g provides 100mW power.

I 'm french and i got the same problem,

I got 3 Aironet 1300 for my Wireless network and I can not cover all i want.

Is this limitation software or hardware ?

Is it possible to ask cisco for unlimiting ?

Different countries have different regulation on 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Cisco programs 1310 according to the regulations. Thus, you can only configure the maximum power according to the local regulation. For example, you can order AIR-BR1310G-E-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-E-K9-R in Europe. AIR-BR1310G-E-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-E-K9-R is programmed according to regulation in Europe. You cannot change the transmit power setting on the field.

If you think that a 1310 cannot cover the area you want, you can either raise the 1310 or install more 1310s. Changing the transmission power beyond the limit on IOS is not an option.

here's a good question that no one has been able to answer --

i have a unit that apparently came from japan (or at least is programmed as a japanese one) thus it is stuck at 30mw. i live in pennsylvania, and want this to be corrected so i can use this access point for 100mw output as allowed... what can i do?

thanks.
