Hi,
And what is wrong with using dd-wrt on R7000?
For the R7000, currently dd-wrt does not offer full WAN performance, as compared to the stock firmware, you drop from full gigabit WAN performance, to around 450-500mbit/s WAN performance (meaning if you are on google viber or some other internet connection that will give you more than 450mbit throughput, then you will lose some internet throughput) LAN throughput is not impacted.
Hi,
Years of using various routers, I never had to fiddle with TX power. Right now I am on dd-wrt latest firmware and it works very well. When I can get hold of V1.0.3.39 stock
beta f/w by any luck, I'll revert back and see what it is like. dd-wrt is very polular world wide. One thing on stcok f/w,
no Telnet access.
for me in the telnet ui, with the default dd-wrt settings, the txpower command shows
root@DD-WRT:~# wl -i eth2 txpwr1
TxPower is 74 qdbm, 18.50 dbm, 71 mW Override is On
root@DD-WRT:~#
If the transmit power is set to 999
the telnet shows
root@DD-WRT:~# wl -i eth2 txpwr1
TxPower is 120 qdbm, 30.0 dbm, 1000 mW Override is On
root@DD-WRT:~#
I am using the DD-WRT K3 for NETGEAR R7000 Nighthawk WiFi Router Kong build
Hi,
It's OT but as a long time HAM I never had a TX power more than 100W. My favorite radio is 5W QRP digital brick radio. My idea was rather I'd spend money on antennas and use my skills gained over the years for DXing. My accomplishment ONE was using 0.5W CW, I worked South Africa via long path using coherent CW method. That was very exciting. In pro days I used to play with TX power in the hundreds KW range. Reducing power half did not yield much difference in most cases. That was in tropo-scatter, microwave links, and long range HF broadcasting. I am always energy conscious, my house is custom built on R2000 specs. All my lighting is switched to LED resulting in
80% Wattage saving.
... Came across a R7000 f/w V1.0.3.49 dated March 14... I flashed it, seems fine...
