Netgear WC7520 - ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller Reference Manual

Configure the settings as explained in the following table:

Default Tx Power

Make a selection from the drop-down list to specify how the 
transmission (Tx) power is configured on the access points: Full, Half, 
Quarter, Eighth, or Minimum.

When automatic Tx power control is enabled, the selection from the 
drop-down list is used as the initial power level for the access points.

Automatic Tx Power Control

Select the Enable radio button to enable automatic Tx power control:

• When a client attempts to connect to an access point at low power, 

the access point’s Tx power is automatically increased above the 
default level.

• When there are overlapping coverage areas, the access point’s Tx 

power is automatically decreased below default level.

Select the Disable radio button to disable automatic Tx power control.

Maximum Neighbors to Participate 
in Self-healing

From the drop-down list, select the maximum number of neighboring 
access points that increase or decrease power to cover for a failing 
access point. Selecting 0 (zero) disables this feature. Use close 
neighbors, not a distant access point, and do not use all access points. 

Self healing wait Time after AP 
Failure

From the drop-down list, select the number of minutes to validate ( that 
is, wait) before confirming a failed access point and increasing transmit 
power to cover the area. Enter a value greater than the access point 
reboot time, which is usually 1 minute. This allows for fluctuations in 
the power of nearby access points when access points are rebooted.
