I don't know enough to know what I don't know yet. The 2. The NanoHD is right next to my laptop for testing purposes and maxing out at around 420Mbps (using AT&T Fiber ISP). But if you're doing this with lots of competing radio AP's in a noisy environment, all you're trying to do is shout louder than everyone but that's not really going to make you "heard". There are very few WiFi channels and most are congested, so the quest goes on for more spectrum and channels to avoid everyone else WiFi Access points. 1 I have a UniFi UAP-NanoHD and I am looking to maximize performance on 5Ghz. Though you may not realize that laptop being able to connect if you don't have the AP transmitting at max power. And it depends on how powerful the client is to talk back to the AP, correct? While a phone may drop off at X distance, a laptop with better/more powerful radios may not dropoff until X + N distance. If you have a large expanse of land/property you want to cover with not much for competing radios, I don't see why not. "I just don't know why someone would bother maxing out their power of they're going to kick off clients at a lower threshold, anyway." Getting a better signal, i.e, moving closer to the AP.
"What causes them to reconnect when you're ready for them to?" Even in a single-AP setup, configuring these properly is being a good neighbor. These are most important in a multiple-AP setup to ensure that devices connect to the closest AP. That's where the power setting comes in, if it's low enough the devices will see a weak signal from that AP and won't try to connect to it, if it's too high they'll try to reconnect and get kicked right back off due to Minimum RSSI. That's half the job, but you've also gotta keep those devices from trying to reconnect to the same AP. I'm using a wifi planning tool (thanks Aerohive), but I need to set the power transmit levels as the tool defaults to 18dBm. Minimum RSSI makes the AP kick devices off when the received signal goes below a certain threshold. AP-AC-Pro Transmit Power Levels I'm deploying AC-AP-Pros throughout my school and I'm trying to figure out the power transmit levels I should be using.
You basically need to concern yourself with two settings here: Transmit Power and Minimum RSSI. The ideal AP power setting is just low enough that devices won't try to connect to the AP when they're too far away to reliably transmit to it. If the AP power is too high, devices will be able to receive a good signal from the AP when they're too far away to transmit back to it. The limiting factor in a Wi-Fi connection is almost always the radio in the device, not the AP.
