An engineer is configuring an AP for a site survey. How should the transmit power be configured?
The correct answer is B. Set to one level below full power. During a site survey, the AP transmit power should be set to one level below full (maximum) power. This is because in actual deployment, APs are rarely run at absolute maximum power, and RF conditions such as co-channel interference often cause RRM or manual configuration to…

Explanation
During a site survey, the AP transmit power should be set to one level below full (maximum) power. This is because in actual deployment, APs are rarely run at absolute maximum power, and RF conditions such as co-channel interference often cause RRM or manual configuration to reduce power slightly. Surveying at one level below max produces results that more accurately reflect the real post-deployment environment. Setting to maximum may give overly optimistic coverage maps, while DTPC (answer C) is a client-side feature, not an AP survey configuration.
