WAX220 Transmit power
Hello, Can someone please confirm what the max/high transmit power (dbm) is on this unit on both 2/5ghz as its not listed anywhere, even the spec sheet. Also if you have information on what Low/Med...
I find it off that your asking why I need this. Most manufactures will list what the power outputs are. For example 30dbm=1W which is the highest allowed in the US. But some stop at 25, some at 28, etc. You sent me the frequencies for each channel and the maximum. Units dont always transmit at maximum. Are you saying that Netgear units default to max on high ? I am looking for the specs on transmit power.
thank you

What's wrong asking what for people requesting something in a community? Some users think they need these data, seeking details for exporting or importing abroad.

To reach the best possible performance, all vendors go to as near as possible to the maximal permitted emission levels. Because - in case they go beyond - in some legislations the manufacturer, the vendor, or the importer has to face massive fines.

The You are talking to a community here, and I'm not Netgear.
Digging a little bit in the FCC approvals for the FCC IC: PY322200567
This does clearly show where you have to go for in case you need the best possible coverage on the WAC220 under the FCC regulatory. This became possible thanks to the https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-164A1.pdf Amendment 1
Thank you! this is helpful
