An example method for managing transmit powers of a networking device is presented. A network management device is configured to determine an expected path loss value at a receiver of a first networking device based at least on the distance between the first networking device and the second networking device. Further, the network management device receives a measured path loss value relative to the second networking device from the first networking device. The network management device then determines a target transmit power for the transmitter of the second networking device based on the measured path loss value and an offset value. The offset value is determined based on the expected path loss value and the measured path loss value. After determining the target transmit power, the network management device sends an instruction to the second networking device to operate the transmitter at the target transmit power.

Managing transmit power of networking devices

Systems and methods are provided for receiving data indicating a spatial distribution and 802.11ax capabilities of access point radios and of client devices in a network, assigning the access point radios as either first access point radios or second access point radios, the first access point radios conducting data transmission using an 802.11ax wireless standard and the second access point radios conducting data transmission using legacy wireless standards, based on the data, determining whether any of the client devices are to be steered to a different access point radio based on the 802.11ax capabilities of the client devices, and in response to determining that a client device is to be steered to a different access point radio, steering the client device to a first access point radio or a second access point radio.
