**Antenna Gain**

Antenna Gain
This is where Ruckus shines with the Beamflex gain. Beamflex adaptive antenna will get you approx. 3 dBi gain per 2 radio chains on most models. This will be added to the conductive power you set on the management interface and will make sure the EIRP is less than the FCC limit.

#### Actual WAP Power vs datasheet
#### Actual WAP Power vs Datasheet

I was working a case about a year ago channelizaing over 100 WAPs at this single location, i had to set the power on each WAP seperatly based on our ekahau WiFi Survey report, i am not one to do such task from GUI, therefor I scripted the whole thing to run on the SmartZone.

Anyway, I found that after settings the power on all WAPs and monitoring the clients, nothing was making sense. I looked into the datasheet for each WAP model we had at this location and tried checking the calculations I made based on the information I was fed by our CWNE Network Architect and still something didn't make sense.

I reached out to Ruckus support asking on how I can check the actual Tx Power on the WAP and that's when he hopped on and gave me access to the support shell to get the infomation I need.

This is when I found out that the actual data provided by Ruckus on theor datasheets, doesnt really match what you get from the Access Point, I was kind of shocked. Below are some of the values I obtained while doing my checks on the WAP, you can see what power level you get based on the select settings i had at the time.
