RBR10 in AP mode 5ghz transmit power not adjustable just grayed out.
Orbi RBR10 is set to AP mode and I am trying to adjust the 5GHZ trasmit power down but it is just grayed out. Is this normal for AP mode. Also, because in AP mode, I do not believe I can telenet as...
Thank you for your response. I believe the only thing I see different in your setup is the Daisy Chain option you have disabled. I have this enabled. Is there a benefit for this to be disabled? I believe this is meant for using backhaul from one sattelite to the next yes? As I am not using any sattelites because the 5G is stuck on full and I have roam hop, I belive I could turn that off.
I have a house that is about 1900sq ft. of space but really bad tenuation because it was built in the 1930s. The 5GHz is visible but weak and my devices that join that band don't always connect to it. However, it is just strong enough that when they do connect properly and I have a sattelite they roam hop and cannot decide which to connect to. The 2.4GHz is strong even though it is set down to 25%.
Thank you again
Yes, I disabled Daisy Chain because my two satellite both connect directly to the router. Enabling Daisy Chain activates another 5G backhaul SSID, which is not necessary in my case. (I have no idea if that additional SSID would 'interfere' with anything, but I am a bit OCD about WiFi and got rid of it by disabling Daisy Chain.)
If the goal was to increase 5G transmit power, my guess is that it is already set as high as legally allowed because of the backhaul link.
The RBR10 is a "different animal". There was a post some months back wanting to change the 5G backhaul channel, which is impossible because it is the same channel as for the 5G users.
- Again, thank you for your reply my goal is actually to decrease the 5GHz power so that I can use a satellite upstairs entity having the roaming hop confusion of the clients.
