Transmit Power
The Transmit Power drop-down list contains different options for Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure mode. Automatic (i.e.,
use the current AP settings) and Power Plus (use higher than the current AP settings) are available for
Infrastructure mode.
Adjusting the radio transmission power level enables the user to expand or confine the transmission coverage
area. Reducing the radio transmission power level reduces potential interference to other wireless devices that
might be operating nearby. Increasing the radio transmission power level increases the range at which other
wireless devices can “hear” the radio's signal.
