Abstract
Embodiments for preliminary antenna configuration for a radio in an access point are described. A preliminary antenna configuration with a first number of antennas transmitting at a first power level based on a maximum transmission power for the radio is used to determine a second antenna configuration based on network level factors, where the second antenna configuration includes a second number of antennas. The second antenna configuration is used to determine a third antenna configuration from the second antenna configuration, where the third antenna configuration includes a third number of antennas transmitting at a third power level based on a client transmission factors for a plurality of client devices connected to the access point. The third antenna configuration is used to transmit network traffic from the access point to the plurality of client devices using the third antenna configuration.
