Kitri, If you are allowing RRM to do TPC you may want to evaluate your layout. TPC is setting the PL to 7 because the APs can all see each other. If you turn up the PL you may see your utilization for 802.11 climb as well.
Just something to consider, you can also set the Minimum Power Level Assignment to something higher, like 10dBm. Just be sure to keep an eye on utilization at the AP. Totally off subject, but tossing it out there....

Make sure you have no output to the WLC console and then run "config paging disable" and then "show run-config". Dump all that output into the analyzer.

Still using some perl scripts from FAT AP days and modified these to double-check the capwap units are taking clients. Check for clients on APs and what radios they are working on, if no counts when feel there should be, then take a closer look what is going on. If you have anything left over from managing individual APS and wanted to reuse, the hard part for me was understanding hitting the WLC then appending the MAC address of the AP to query the MIB and all has to be in decimal. Can then pull a client MAC address list from each AP, change to decimal and query again to get the radio information for each client and other information if wanted. Electrical brown outs and other issues has caused APs to look fine but not take clients for us on array of AP models and OS versions over the years. best! jim On Sun, Mar 23, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Peter Arbouin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been able to run a report that identifies unused radios of using Cisco Prime 1.4. We recently found a room with two access points where a client couldn't connect. It turned out that even though the 2.4 radio reported as being on and functioning, no clients could connect. One stopped working a few weeks ago, and the other three days ago. The 5GHz radios were working fine and had clients associated to both access points. I ran the "Client Count" report for the affected floor from the Client Reports section and this was ok for a small area, as it reports all the access points in a graph format, and allowed me to select by radio type. It got me wondering how many other radios may have a similar problem. If I run this report for all our access points, there is no sort function, so you have to manually look through all the graphs. In the Device section, there is a "Top AP by Client Count" This is a handy report, as it gives a numeric output and can be sorted, but it seems to be total clients for the AP and there is no option to report on just specific radio type, so I can only assume that this report only reports access points with no associations on any radio. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter.
