What is the expected behavior when enabling auto TX power control on a FortiAP interface?
The correct answer is C. AP power is adjusted based on the weakest associated client's signal. Auto TX power control on FortiAP is an RF-optimization feature: FortiGate (as wireless controller) continuously evaluatesRSSI of associated clientson each The algorithm focuses on theweakest client(the one with the worst signal) and adjusts the AP's transmit power so that this…
Question
What is the expected behavior when enabling auto TX power control on a FortiAP interface?
Options
- AFortiGate monitors the signal strength of nearby AP interfaces and adjusts its own transmit power
- BFortiGate measures the signal strength of nearby FortiAP interfaces every 30 seconds and
- CAP power is adjusted based on the weakest associated client's signal.
- DThe AP periodically evaluates the signal strength of its own transmission from the client

Explanation
Auto TX power control on FortiAP is an RF-optimization feature: FortiGate (as wireless controller) continuously evaluatesRSSI of associated clientson each The algorithm focuses on theweakest client(the one with the worst signal) and adjusts the AP's transmit power so that this client's signal level stays within a configured / target range. This helps balance coverage and limit co-channel interference: APs don't transmit at maximum power when clients are close, but will increase power when the weakest client signal drops too Therefore the correct behavior description is:
