Note that higher density deployments should use 20 MHz or 40 MHz channels on 5 GHz.
Tx Power
Using this option, users can set a custom range for Tx power.
The higher the transmission power (Tx power) of the access point, the bigger the coverage

is better to turn down your access point transmission power to 15-17dBm on 5G, and 10-
12dBm for 2.4G (so the coverage area of 5G and 2.4G is about the same). If you keep the
same transmission power of 5G and 2.4G, it also means the signal strength of 2.4G is
about 6 dB higher than 5G at the same location. Then the client device might roam from 5G
to 2.4G because it detects better signal strength. It is highly recommended to leverage
EnGenius ezWiFiPlanner tool to simulate coverage with different transmission power
settings.
Minimum Bit Rate
EnGenius access points can adjust the minimum bit rate for each radio (2.4G and 5G
