Display and Recalculate the WiFi Coverage for a Heat Map
After you set up an RF plan and generate a heat map for a floor, you can display the WiFi 
coverage and view how the WiFi coverage changes if you change the minimum signal 
strength with the same number of access points and antennas.
The default minimum signal strength is –62 dBm. The WiFi coverage percentage is 
calculated based on this value. You can change this value and recalculate the coverage 
percentage. However, to change the minimum signal strength for an RF plan, you must run 
the WiFi auto planning advisor again (see
