Description
Transmit Power meaning on the SonicPoints:
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Full Power sends the strongest signal on the WLAN.
For example, select Full Power if the signal is going from building‐to‐building.
- Half (‐3 dB) is recommended for office‐to‐office within a building.
- Quarter (‐6 dB) is recommended for short distance communications.
- Eighth (‐9 dB) is recommended for shorter distance communications shorter than -6dB.
- Minimum is recommended for very short distance communications which is shorter than -9dB.
Reasons to turn down the transmit power of your Wi-Fi
The transmit power of an AP affects the area covered and the maximum SNR achieved.
Proper configuration of transmit power is important for a wireless network when its operating at its highest capacity.
0dBm = 1mW
3dBm = 2mW
6dBm = 4mW
9dBm = 8mW
12dBm = 16mW
15dBm = 32mW
18dBm = 64mW
21dBm = 128mW
24dBm = 256mW
27dBm = 512mW
