Access Point Transmit Power Values can be Optimized
The insight can be accessed only at the context. This insight generates when the transmit power is not set optimally on the radios of access points existing in the network. This insight detects that wireless clients are experiencing a poor Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. connectivity due to the transmit power settings of the access points. It is categorized under wireless quality as the clients connected to these APs can communicate with the APs well but, the APs have difficulty to communicate with the clients in return. This insight displays the following information:
Insight Summary
The insight summary provides the following details:
- —Displays the possible causes for which the transmit power of APs is not set optimally.
- —Displays the possible recommendation against each failure to resolve the same.
