Hello,
I'm working with a WLC 5520 v8.10.190.0. APs are C9130AXI-A mode flexconnect. APs are configured in the same AP group. The 2.4 GHz radio is disabled and the dual 5 GHz Radio Slot 2 is disabled in the majority of the APs. I left 1 single Radio Slot 2 in monitor mode. Furthermore, we are using a RF profile with a txpower max: 15 dBm and min: 9 dBm as well as 40MHz channels, as shown in the table below:

What I understand of the dual 5 GHz antennas is that Radio Slot 1 if the normal antenna and the Radio Slot 2 is the one used for to do a micro cel used in high density deployments.
However, i don't understand why in some cases the active Radio Slot 1 has a maximum power of 8 or 7 dBm whereas the disabled Radio Slot 2 seems to have a maximum of 23 dBm, and some times is the other way around. The TxPower max levels are not consistent on all other Radio Slot 1 and Radio Slot 2 on other floors either. How can I make sure which is the Radio Slot that I need to disable ? How can I make sure that the radios are going to work between the values configured on the RF Profile ?
Thanks,
