AP7532 not reaching maximum power

AP7532 not reaching maximum power

Hi there, 

We have a deployment with AP7532 located in a warehouse with a height about 14m, we are trying to configure the maximum power for the APs to have  better performance but while standing right below the AP we are just reaching -70dBm aprox, measured with a cell phone running WiFi analizer application.   When we configure the maximum power output (30) we just checked on the statistics of AP under Radio and it only reads 18(of 30 configured).
Why the configuration doesn't reach any higher output? other APs have reached up to 25 (of 30 configured). Is there a way to force the configuration on max output?

Thank you for your help Christoph.  I understand the point, however, I have noticed that when I manually select channel 6 the TX Power rise up to 20.   Is there any regulation on this behalf?

Best,

Alex
