To WiFi users.
Do you reduce your router’s WiFi Transmit Power to the bare minimum as required by you?
- Do you just keep it at the default 100%
- Did you not know you could reduce it (until now)
- Are you not able to control “your” WiFi router because it’s the ISP provided router and they didn’t give you the password?
- Do you actually require the 100% !?
No. the AP will use ATPC to limit itself so why do something manually when it does it automagically.
Ahh. Turns out I asked the question 10 years too late.
It’s not like its a well known feature. The only reason I know about it is because I use to be an RF tech.
I looked into my router’s datasheet and all I can say is that it either doesn’t have it or they didn’t care to write it in (home model, nobody cares about details).
Also, the settings interface doesn’t have any reference, neither is the Transmit Power field saying “Max Transmit Power” (which would have lead me to believe that it may reduce the power in certain cases), so I am going to go with “No”, considering how old it is
