Select antenna gain with following command:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)# antenna-gain <units in dBi>
Select VMM antenna type (if available) with following command:

These changes can also be made in the device profile configuration file.
NOTE

3.2 Automatic Channel Select Override

Under certain conditions (e.g. the presence of a 40 MHz channel intolerant client or a legacy device on the
extension channel), a radio which has been configured for 40 MHz channel operation may automatically select the
20 MHz channel. To override or restore automatic channel selection, use the following commands:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#service ignore-ch-width-mgmt
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#no service ignore-ch-width-mgmt
This change can also be made in the device profile configuration file.
For FCC and ETSI requirements, set the 2.4GHz antenna gain to 8 dBi and set the 5GHz
antenna gain to 10 dBi.
