Transmit power

Configurable in increments of 0.5 dBm

Maximum (aggregate, conducted total) transmit power (limited by local regulatory requirements):

2.4 GHz band: +21 dBm (18dBm per chain)
5 GHz band: +21 dBm (18 dBm per chain)
Note: conducted transmit power levels exclude antenna gain. For total (EIRP) transmit power, add antenna gain.

Wi-Fi Antennas

• Two vertically polarized dual-band downtilt omnidirectional antennas for 2x2 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 3.3dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.8dBi in 5GHz. • The antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
• Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 2.1dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.7dBi in 5GHz.

E0: Ethernet wired network port (RJ-45)
