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% !?
Never thought about it. If we did that, we’d probably lose connectivity since we have massive concrete walls.
The house I live in is all brick walls and my 12-year-old phone (Sony Xperia Z) has connectivity issues just 5 m and one wall away, RSSI of -70 dBm and below unless in specific places and orientations. Radios have improved quite a bit since.
I’m in bed on the outer edge of our flat right now, meaning there are two walls and maybe 4-5 m between my phone and the router. If I turn the wrong way I lose signal on my 4 year old phone. 🤷
