My 2 cents worth... When you have the power up more than needed you are also turning the noise up, similar to over modulation that CB (citizen band radio) operators like to do sounds real bad. Not identicle in theory but the best way I can describe it without showing it first hand. I would only adjust power on clients though since the AP is servicing many different situations all at the same time. Joe RiverNet

That's an interesting point I hadn't really thought of. So do you turn down the power until you reach certain signal strength? If so, what is that strength? We have several links where we put up our standard antenna and have 100% signal. I am sure that we could probably turn down the power and either remain at 100 or maybe drop to 95% or something. Im interested in why this would allow better throughput tho. Is there any technical reason that I am too stupid to understand or is it just "PFM"? -Brian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Petermann Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 1:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Power Management Are any of you managing your power levels? What I mean is are you turning down the power on your close shots or are you setting everything to 30 dBm? The reason I ask is I recently turned down the power on a few links (set up before I was hired) and improved thru put and packet loss dropped.
