tnx 4 ur rapid reply.
bandwidth is set to 20mhz for the 2.4ghz band and 80mhz for 5ghz band.
i am wondering why u mention the matter of the client tx power.
lowering the ap's tx power may cause the client to boost its tx power since
it will be receiving a weaker signal.
but...
whats worse? (or is it the same?)
a) ap's high tx power
]b) client high tx power
they can both have the same effect of causing interference to nearby
connections
using the same or adjacent channels.
my situation is that we have lots of nearby ap's in lecture rooms and dorms.
(by 'nearby' i means within 10 meters, usually less. i've even seen some on
opposite side of the same air-cavity block walls.)
at some locations i get lots of complaints of slow downloads and even
disconnects. since a pic is worth more that 1000's of words, i'll attach
some screenshots from the analysis tool in run on my cellphone.
btw, tnx lots for the useful information and insights, but.. why didn't u
answer my
question? how to fiddle with the tx power (min/max tx power) via the cli?
tnx
