    What is the Recommended EIRP?
    I have found the following post but it dates back to 2015 and am therefore wondering if these values still apply?

    Any idea where I could find this info because otherwise I won't find anything about it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kevin,

    Unfortunately, there is not one simple answer for every situation.

    Normally you keep the EIRP transmit power equal to your client device with the lowest maximum transmit power. Typically a mobile devices have a maximum transmit power of about 30mW / 15dBm because these types of devices have to conserve their battery life.

    To get the cell size of the 2.4 and 5GHz radio equal, you have to calculate 6dBm less for the 2.4GHz radio.

    You will usually be fine with the settings below for a standard office, but I can be different in every situation.

    2.4GHz
    min.6dBm
    max 9dBm

    5GHz
    min.9dBm
    max. 15dBm

    As long as your clients have a good signal strength (around -60dBM and -65dBM mimimum) and no co-channel interference occurs, you're fine.
