Cisco AP Power Levels

Ever wondered what the power levels 1-8 on a Cisco controller correlate to? Did you know it's a different value based on AP model, channel & regulatory domain? Below you will find a collection of APs I've been able to test or others have submitted. If you have data on a Cisco AP not listed below please submit it to me & I'll make sure it gets added.

The process I've followed is to cycle an AP through the channels while recording the output of:


Please note that this is only a power level to dBm chart for RRM tuning or static power planning. To see how deep the rabbit hole goes reference documents like Cisco 3702 Channel & Power.

Also of note is that I've yet to record power levels allowed on the XOR radio in 5Ghz mode. For all XOR models the values in 5Ghz are for the dedicated radio.
