I am playing with a new hAP ax2, which I bought to specifically be able to run 5ghz on channel 149. The reason for 149 is I am annoyed by my Apple devices constantly splitting wifi airtime between my WLAN and AWDL.
If I set the 5ghz channel to 149 my TX Power drops to 9 and signal on a brand new MacBook Pro is -70 dBm about 4 meters away with line of sight.
I am in Australia and channel 149 has a permitted EIRP of 36 dBm inside and out.
Am I missing something here, perhaps I don't understand how these values get calculated.
Edit: I originally stated TX Power drops to 8, just double checked and it dropped to 9 which align with results in chart below.
