The recommended transmission power for Wireless MikroTik devices depends on several factors, including the deployment environment, legal regulations in your region, and the need for coverage.

Here are some general considerations and recommendations for configuring transmit power on Wireless MikroTik equipment:

General considerations

1. Local Regulations: Transmission power is regulated by local laws and varies by country. It is crucial to adjust the transmit power settings according to the regulations of the FCC in the US, ETSI in Europe, or any other applicable regulatory entity in your region to avoid legal violations.
2. Coverage Needs: The power needed may vary depending on the size and configuration of the area you need to cover. Lower power may be appropriate for small areas or dense environments to minimize interference with other devices, while higher power may be necessary to cover larger areas or to penetrate physical obstacles.
3. Interferences: Higher transmit power may cause interference with other devices in densely populated areas. In environments with many WiFi devices, it may be best to reduce the power to help minimize this interference and improve coexistence with other networks.

Specific Recommendations for MikroTik

• Default Power: MikroTik usually configures its devices with a transmission power that conforms to the most common and legally acceptable standards. However, you can adjust these settings as needed.
• Power Adjustment: In the RouterOS interface, you can go to the wireless settings section to adjust the transmission power. It is located under Wireless > Interfaces > select the interface > Tx Power. Here you can set a specific level in dBm according to your needs.
• Automatic Configuration: For many users, automatic power settings (if available on your specific MikroTik model) are appropriate, as the system will attempt to adjust transmit power to optimize performance and minimize interference.

Best Agricultural Practices

• Testing and Monitoring: Perform coverage tests and monitor network performance after adjusting power to ensure you are getting the desired coverage without causing additional interference or stability issues.
• Consult with Experts: If you are unsure how to configure the transmit power for your specific situation, it may be helpful to consult with a networking professional or wireless technology consultant.

In summary, there is no single “recommended transmission power” for all scenarios, as it depends on the specific circumstances of each network deployment.

Carefully adjusting based on coverage needs, local regulations, and environmental conditions is essential to obtain optimal performance from your MikroTik wireless network.
