Radio transmit power range in dBm

The radio transmit power can be configured in dBm or as a percentage in FortiAP profiles and override settings.

config wireless-controller wtp-profile
    edit <name>
        config radio-1
            set power-mode {dBm | percentage}
            set power-value <integer>
        end
    next
end

power-mode {dBm | percentage}	Set the radio EIRP power in dBm or by percentage.
power-value <integer>	Set the power value for dBm (1 - 33, default = 27) or percentage (0 - 100, default = 100).

To configure the radio transmit power range in dBm in the GUI:

1. Go to WiFi & Switch Controller > FortiAP Profiles, or WiFi & Switch Controller > Managed FortiAPs.
2. Create a new profile or edit an existing one.
3. For Transmit power mode, select dBm and adjust the slider to the desired value.

4. Configure the other settings as needed.
5. Click OK.

To configure the radio transmit power range in dBm in the CLI:

config wireless-controller wtp-profile
    edit "FAP831F-default"
        config platform
            set type 831F
        end
        set handoff-sta-thresh 55
        set allowaccess https ssh snmp
        config radio-1
            set band 802.11ax-only
            set power-mode dBm
            set power-value 22
            set channel-utilization disable
        end
        config radio-2
            set band 802.11ax-5G
            set power-mode dBm
            set power-value 15
            set channel-utilization disable
            set channel "157" "161"
        end
        config radio-3
            set mode monitor
            set channel-utilization disable
        end
    next
end

To verify the settings in FortiAP:

# rcfg
    Radio 0: AP
        ...
        txpwr mode     : set by value (22 dBm)
        txpwr cfg/oper : 22/22 (EIRP +0)
        ...

    Radio 1: AP
        ...
        txpwr mode     : set by value (15 dBm)
        txpwr cfg/oper : 15/15 (EIRP +0)
        ...
