milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves the range of the
signal for better communications.
Select High to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.

Select Medium-Low to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.
Select Low to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows for the least
power consumption.
