No settings for this within the user web interface, or the Nighthawk app.
Could it be hidden in the debug zone?

If it was there in earlier firmware, perhaps it was removed. If it is essential, you may have to track down the latest version that supports it.

Unfortunately there are no options for adjusting the Transmit Power Control within the debug menu.
And reverting to an older version of firmware is not an option for me, as I would have to remain on this older version of firmware, as upgrading would then remove any previous Power Control options set, and revert the transmit strength back to 100%
I suppose there is not much anyone could do about this.
Thanks for the help though.

What does make you so convinced the previously manual set power limits set are retained in place with the update?
Which regulatory area are you operating your RAXE300 in?
I find it more than strange the manual controls have been removed from the Web UI. Agree with your point there is not much we can do about it, except of continue to ask questions. DarrenM plese.

As I read it, the concern was not that the update would retain the previous settings, more that it would remove them.
I'd be more interested in why someone would want to adjust the power settings.
