Whats the difference between wireless gain, power settings?

davebornack · ‎02-24-2009

I'm trying to maximize antenna coverage on some APs, and having trouble understanding the differences in the settings.

The settings I'm messing with are:

interface dot11radio0

antenna gain 128

power local cck 1

power local ofdm 1

What do each of these settings do specifically?

Appreciate it, going to try to look up each command to try to understand, but if someone could explain it in real-world terms, I'd appreciate.

Thanks!

The antenna gain command does not impact the radio setting at all and is used for information by the WLSE if you have one.

Here is a link that explains the antenna gain:

The power local command specifies what power setting you wish to use, 1 being the lowest mW setting:
