The suggested new settings are confusing—why does Self Healing decrease the transmit power?

A. Transmit power is not always increased on neighboring APs. When a radio is detected as down, WLSE computes the best coverage possible given the available radios and current channel settings. In response to a downed radio, WLSE only changes power—it does not change the channels. Given these constraints, the power for some radios is turned down while the power for others is turned up to ensure the best coverage. While this may not seem intuitive, it is expected.
