Summary:
This office location was chose as there’s a clear shot down an open hallway. Tan lines are drywall and blue lines are about 5 feet cube walls. True to a cloud controller, it takes a little time from the change on the platform to the desired level to change the power on the AP. Target power 1 in the first drawing is actually transmit power 3. Item to note, this AP support 6Ghz, but we don’t have the equipment to measure. Also note, out of box, bot 5Ghz radios are turned on.
If you would like to contrast this against the MR55 5Ghz reading from the same office location, there’s a link, here:
Power testing 2.4Ghz/5Ghz at, “Target Power,” 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 & 30 (note the highest possible is 23).
