AP Model Settings

The Ruckus Wi-Fi 802.11ax APs consume more power to function at 100 percent capacity on all transmit and receive chains and streams. APs are designed to negotiate source power from the PoE switch to which they are connected. However, if APs are connected to a power injector or an unmanaged (no-LLPD) switch, you can configure the power mode for the APs.

Note: For the latest Wi-Fi 6 APs, PoE operating modes can also be configured for the PoE port.
