Configuring WGB/uWGB Radio Parameters

Configure the WGB Radio Antenna

This procedure describes how to configure the WGB radio antenna gain and select the antenna type.

Procedure

	1.	Use the configure dot11 radio-interface antenna gain value command to configure the WGB radio antenna gain. Example: `Device# configure dot11 0 antenna gain 10` The default antenna gain is 4 dBi. Adjust the antenna gain value as needed for your deployment.
	2.	Use the configure dot11 radio-interface antenna `{` a-antenna`\|` ab-antenna`\|` abcd-antenna`}` command to configure the WGB radio antenna. Example: `Device# configure dot11 0 antenna ab-antenna` The default antenna type is abcd-antenna . Choose the antenna type that fits your configuration.

Configure the 802.11ax guard interval

This procedure describes how to configure the 802.11ax guard interval.

Procedure

Use the configure dot11 radio-interface guard-interval radio-interface command to configure the 802.11ax guard interval.

Example:

Device# configure dot11 0 guard-interval 1600

802.11ax supports these guard interval values: 800ns, 1600ns, and 3200ns. By default, guard interval is set to 800ns.

Longer guard intervals are commonly used in outdoor deployments.

Set the transmit power for a radio

This procedure describes how to manually set the transmit power of the radio.

Procedure

Use the configure dot11 radio-interface txpower-level power-level command to configure the transmit power of the radio.

Example:

Device# configure dot11 0 txpower-level 5

By default, the transmit power of the radio is set to AUTO(0) level.
