[Commotion-dev] Note about mixing phone/pc clients and nanostations

[Teco Boot]

The RF path is symmetric. It is the Tx power, Rx sensitivity and noise floors that make links asymmetric.

If the nanostation becomes an unwanted dominant node because its high RF performance, you could reduce Tx power.
