    ARghh. Talk about ambivalence. :-)

    Is Your Router's Transmit Power Juiced?

    So do any of you have a preference for which of those two routers I mentioned? Linksys AC1900 Dual Band Open Source WiFi Wireless Router (WRT1900ACS) or NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (R7000) with Open Source

    Is Your Router's Transmit Power Juiced?

    I've done so many resets it's not funny. At this point I consider it a manufacturer-crippled router.

    Is Your Router's Transmit Power Juiced?

    Yeah, ok, but the RT-N66U was working ok in my bedroom, before the firmware update, which I now regret ever making, and then it drastically reduced the power. But that aside, which of those two routers would those of you here recommend? I need to get this going today, as I cant watch streaming...

    Is Your Router's Transmit Power Juiced?

    I thought the limit here in the U.S. is 1000mw ( 1 watt )? I own the RT-N66U and it originally measured -60db on my PC on 5GHz, about 20 feet from the router. I checked and could actually see when I set the power to 200mw - the max. THEN I upgraded the cursed firmware and they appear to have...

    Which router has the most output power?

    What people seem to be missing in this thread is this: You get a 3db gain every time you double power. BUT my RT-N66U, when crippled by the recent firmware update that I just did, went from 200mw to 15 mw, I think, and is barely usable in our house in Denver now. SO 15mw doubled to 30mw would...
