CLI
The example below shows how to set the VAP radio’s maximum transmit power using the CLI.
The Tx power is specified in dBm, with a granularity of 0.5 dBm.

> use wlan1
wlan1> set txpower=20
wlan1> set txpower=20
Web GUI
The VAPs’ maximum transmit power can be set via the web interface using the appropriate
“wlanN” tab on the “Wireless Interfaces” page (see Figure 42). The “+” and “-“ buttons can be
used to increase or decrease the power setting in 0.5 dBm steps.

12.11 Radio Rate
The APs can be set to communicate at a specific rate or to automatically select the best rate
available. For most applications, choosing automatic rate selection will be the best choice.

rate, use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate rate and verify that the “Auto”
checkbox is not selected. To set the device to automatically select the most appropriate rate,

12.12 Preamble Length
The APs can be configured to use short preambles when there are no client devices present
that only support long preambles. Alternatively, the device can be forced to always use long
preambles. Using short preambles reduces communication overhead, but may not be
supported by older 802.11 client devices.

The preamble length setting is uniform across all VAPs. Changing it for one
will automatically change it for all others as well.
