The actual maximum power may vary between APs due to regulatory limitations or environmental factors. When a wireless network is set to a high dBm or " Always use 100% power" under Wireless > Configure > Radio settings > Radio power, all Access Points in the network will set their radios to the set value or highest allowed transmit power (whichever is lower). Testing should be performed in all areas of the environment to ensure there are no coverage holes. If 2.4 GHz support is not needed, it is recommended to use “5 GHz band only”. For more details refer to the Band Steering Overview article. If 2.4 GHz support is needed, it is recommended to use ' Dual-band with band steering' to ensure support for 2.4 GHz devices while dual band devices will be steered to use the 5 GHz band. Select all three 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and Band steering checkboxes to set an SSID to dual band operation with band steering.Select both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz checkboxes to set an SSID to dual band operation.Select the 5 GHz checkbox to set an SSID to 5 GHz only.Select the 2.4 GHz checkbox to set an SSID to 2.4 GHz only.Per SSID selection allows setting target SSID to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, dual band, or dual band with band steering.All SSIDs selection provides dual band operation (with or without band steering), 5GHz or 2.4GHz configuration options.Specific bands can be set on All SSIDs or Per SSID basis in an RF profile. It is recommended to consult a wireless expert before changing RX-SOP values and also refer to the RX-SOP section for additional details. RX-SOP values have been set to default and need to be changed on a case by case basis. If older building materials are being used (eg: cinder block) settings might need changing. TX power is in the high range.Īll profiles are designed considering standard building materials. Outdoors: This profile is configured to accommodate outdoor deployments. TX power is in the medium range.Ĭonference Room: This profile is designed to accommodate a medium number of devices in an open office environment.
Open Office: This profile is designed to accommodate a medium number of devices in an open office environment. TX power is in the lower range.Ĭlassroom: This profile is designed to accommodate a medium number of devices in a classroom. After creating or selecting a specific RF Profile, settings (which comprise the profile) can then be applied, en masse, to groups of APs.Īuditorium: This profile is designed for open auditorium deployments accommodating a large number of devices. If any settings need to be changed in the default profiles then administrators have to define new profiles and apply the profiles to APs accordingly.Īdministrators can also select from five predefined templates for typical auditoriums, open offices, and outdoor coverage scenarios to help IT quickly configure wireless settings for maximum performance. Administrators that do not want to use RF profiles can leave the AP in the default profiles and APs will inherit settings based on old radio settings page as described in Mapping to Default profiles. Network administrators can additionally check the assigned RF profile to a particular AP by going to Wireless → Radio Settings and checking the Overview tab. APs within a network are automatically assigned to the corresponding RF profile. One for indoor APs and one for outdoor APs. After defining profiles customers can additionally override the settings from the Overview tab. By default two RF profiles are defined for every network. RF Profiles can be used with all APs running firmware MR25.x. By using RF profiles customers can now customize the RF settings for different areas at a property at scale and no longer need to manually make changes for each AP. This feature is helpful especially in complex wireless deployments as multiple RF profiles can be defined and applied to APs within a network. RF Profiles provide more control over radio settings for APs within a specific network.
