Hello,

 

In some cases the deco system is used for the backhaul of the mesh system and each related  station has to cover a smaller range while being used to enter the home network with wifi or wire without running backbone wires along all the walls in the room : i've got two deco in my living room for that reason for example, master on one side, slave on the other side of the room.

 

Or sometimes it is used in crowded environment and this tickle some bad curiosity from far away due to deco power.

just an example of Wifi (mis)use : passive scanning of the wifi even if encrypted to check if there's data burst related to IP cameras. If there's typical bursts : people are here and detected by the camera. If no camera activity is consolidated over a long time by passive collection : it is sure the house is left empty. A very small number of cameras linked by wifi send dummy data burst as decoy when there's no detection :  So it's easy to know whether the house is empty or not from a distance like having a long range remote sensor freely available. Reducing exposure towards the neighbourhood could be beneficial.

 

Or sometimes some people wants to care about health and want to reduce unnecessary exposure.

 

Could it be possible to get a power setting of decos to auto/low/mid/high with a radio button on the app ? Without loosing the backhaul connection of course.
