Explanation

When conducting a wireless site survey using a Cisco autonomous AP, two key configurations are required. First, 'station-role root access-point' (E) puts the AP in root access point mode, which is the standard infrastructure mode needed for a survey - without this, the AP might be in a bridge or repeater role. Second, to accurately simulate real-world conditions, the survey AP's transmit power must match the target client device's power. On Cisco autonomous APs, 'power local' uses discrete power levels where level 5 corresponds to approximately 6–8 mW, which is the closest available match to the target device's 7 mW hardware-defined Tx power in the 5 GHz band. 'Local power 14' would represent a much higher power level (~25 mW or 14 dBm depending on platform), which would produce an unrealistically optimistic survey. Guest-mode and RADIUS server keys are irrelevant to a physical RF site survey.
