Do not disable channel allocation unless you are debugging or an extreme 
situation occurred that affects the channels. 

Automatic channel allocation distributes channels across the managed access points to 

reduce interference. Each wireless controller allocates channels for its managed access 
points, regardless of their configured security profiles. The wireless controller detects 
interference, traffic load on the access point, and neighborhood maps to determine the best 
channel for an access point. The wireless controller collects this information over the 
previous 24 hours and uses this information to determine the best possible channel for the 
access point.

The wireless controller determines available channels based on the 
country or region that you specified on the General Settings page 
(see 

You can configure channel allocation to allow allocation of only the specified channels when 
channel allocation is scheduled to run. Channel allocation ensures that the access points use 
only the channels allowed according to administration policies.

To adhere to best practices when adjusting channel allocation, we recommend the following:

Select channels that do not overlap. For example, for 2.4 GHz, use channels 1, 6, and 11.

Schedule channel allocation once a day at times when the fewest clients are expected to 
be connected.

Channel allocation is a global feature that applies to all access points. (If you disable channel 
allocation, it is globally disabled for all access points.) The allocated channels also apply to 
all access points, irrespective of whether they are managed in profiles of the basic profile 
group or profiles of an advanced profile group. 

Tx Power

From the menu, select the transmission power of the access point.

By default, the access point’s transmission power is set to the 

configuration that is selected on the basic RF Management page. For more
