Hi,

I had to place the asus router somewhere else at home, because my ISP has a special router/modem, that does IPTV, SIP and internet. I noticed that we have a lot of AP's in the area that are hopping channels. So i decided to boost the wifi a little bit.

I did the following:

nvram set pci/1/1/ccode=#a
nvram set pci/2/1/ccode=#a
nvram set pci/1/1/regrev=0
nvram set pci/2/1/regrev=0
nvram set wl0_country_code=#a
nvram set wl0_country_rev=0
nvram set wl0_reg_mode=off
nvram set wl1_country_code=#a
nvram set regulation_domain=#a
nvram set regulation_domain_5G=#a
nvram set wl1_country_rev=0
nvram set wl1_reg_mode=off
nvram commit

Then reboot.

After the reboot:

nvram set wl_txpower=200
nvram set wl0_txpower=200
nvram set wl1_txpower=200
nvram commit

Then reboot and full shutdown and boot.

I noticed some increase in signal strength.

Is 200 the max, or is it safe to set it higher?

Thanks.
