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% !?

    The only devices I’ve ever used that allow that were super high powered Ubiquity devices that could shoot signal several miles away in a straight line that I installed for a WISP. Even my fancy ASUS router doesn’t have any way of lowering the power. 🤨

    And the answer is no. Especially when I setup a few Ubiquity Nanos on my own network to shoot my home wifi all across town. I could go down to the city park and still be on wifi. Shit was dope.

      You just went over 9000% instead!

      fancy ASUS router doesn’t have any way

      Maybe it’s just the ATPC, that’s why they thought they didn’t need to add the setting.
      Mine is a pretty old, cheap 2.4GHz only model from the days when 5GHz had just entered the market.
