wax214 transmit power

Hello all,

 

Just finished setup up a business access point, WAX214, upgraded the firmware to current latest, which is v 2.1.1.2.

 

I would like to lower the transmit power. The documentation says I can choose the rating in dB.

 

In the Web interface, I only see 3 choices: Full, Half and Quarter.

 

Why is this different from the documentation? I specifically ordered this model based on the description of the documentation.

 

How to lower the power to below a quarter?

 

Thank you

Regards

    flopma,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    Please disable Auto RF to be able to change the transmit power of the AP in dBm.

    For your reference, kindly check the image below:

      Hey JeraldM , thx for your reply.

      The device is running firmware v 2.1.1.2 and as you can see below, I don't have this option displayed.

        Hi flopma,

         

        Just to confirm, your location is Luxembourg and have you tried changing the Country/Region as well?

        Also, the latest FW version is v2.1.1.3, might as well consider upgrading its firmware if possible.

         

         

        Regards,
