Please log in for more thread options Hello, I would like to know what is the maximum Transmit power (Ximit) a Linksys wrt54gl router can handle before you shorten the lifetime or whether you should start using cooling. I have set mine now to 67 mW, but would like to increase it. I also would like to know which setting is recommended and which setting is the most ideal (concerning range, noise and heat generation) Greetings Oscar | ||||||||||||||||||||||

If you're going to run it outside, or have the router enclosed in an airtight box, somewhat less. I've seen them smoke the power amplifier chip when run at 250mw, which is the absolute maximum. There's also considerable distortion in the AM part of the xmit signal at much over 150mw. <http://explorer.cyberstreet.com/wrt54g/WRT54g-spectraloutput.html>

You can probably go to 100mw without much risk. Note that some of the 2-wire wireless routers are shipping set to 400mw tx power. >I also would like to know which setting is recommended and which setting
>is the most ideal (concerning range, noise and heat generation) Add xmit distortion as another criteria. I would say that 100mw is a good compromise. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us # http://802.11junk.com jeffl@cruzio.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I am about 99.9% sure that the WRT54GL's max power is 100mW (others like D-Link, Netgear etc fix it to 30mW). At a 100mW TX-power, you shouldn't have cooling issues, unless if you are installing this under abnormal conditions like sunny outdoors, or in an outdoor enclosure without ventilation. Also, the heating issues arise due to the processor performance, and only to a negligible extent the 802.11/WLAN radio. Hope that helps c24 / www.confero24.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||
