Q: Airport utility 6.3 and new Airport Extreme transmit power level
I'm replacing a dead 5 year old time capsule with a new airport extreme. I bougt it because of it's purported range. My old time capsule did better.
So I'm wondering:
1 - How to disable 802.11n - so it forces longer range G.
2 - How to set the transmit power level. You used to be able to do this but I sure can't find it in the settings with the newest airport utility.
3 - How to set the interference option - there used to be one to use if you were in a wifi saturated area.
Anyone know how to get to any of these settings using the 6.3 airport utility?
Thanks

Bob,
Hardly seems like an upgrade but I resolved the issue by changing the 5ghz network name and not connecting to it. That increased my reliable range.
I also loaded a Windows version of the airport utility and confirmed transmit power at 100%.
