DD-WRT, lower xmit power gives better signal !!!!!!

Jul 10, 2006 0 Replies

Hi,



Running Linksys 54GS V4 with DD-WRT V23SP1 in client mode.



Just tried to set my xmit power to 2mw - normally I run about 33mw.



The very weird thing,is that I get a better signal to noise ratio at 2 mw than at 33mw.



Very weird but interesting.



Distance from 54GS to AP is about 12 meters, and there is a couple of walls between.



Results duplicated by other DD-WRT users.



Lower xmit power in clientmode gives much better signal to noise ratio.



Spread the word and save the airspace ;-)
