    Here's a nice guide to: http://erhnam.demon.nl/asus-wlan-hack/

    Isn't it smarter to change it to 65-75mWH ?

    to inform you, I am the one who wrote that guide... except for the wl -i eth2 txpwr 84

    and why should it be smarter to change it to 65-75mWH ?
    so that the signal would get better or something?

    Here is a WL500g measurement with a R&S spectrum analyzer. Please notice the 8dBm difference (19mW = 12,7dBm, 84mW = 19,2 dBm). This is measured with an Antenna, no direct connection to the Spectrum Analyzer.



    The Following picture shows a direct connection:

    txpwr in client mode

    Hi,
    nice pictures, but I've some quetsions about them. Did you measured WL500g in AP or client mode? I thought, if there are no clients associated to AP, it transmit just something like "hello, I'm here" and no standard traffic signal. And if you have your spectrum analyzer connected directly on coax, I'm sure there are no clients associated. So, do you thing that signal on your picture is this "hallo" signal? Did this signal have same strenght, like traffic?
    And about client mode. I use wl500b in client mode, AP distance is about 500 meters and it's same link quality if txpwr is 1 or 84. No packetloss or something like this. So I've some doubt about txpwr setting. I tried to measure power with RF powermeter, but I wasn't succesfull. I gues that not associated client is just listening and no transmiting. What do you thanks tenis

    What is the name of that program you used for analyzing signal? I need a good program to find what is wrong with my network. I get ping timeout every 57 sec on my Asus WL-500g based network.

    hi @ all,
    i use the new firmware from oleg. and i need to boost up the transmission power.
    i do it by the guide from page 1 with this command
    /usr/sbin/wl -i eth2 txpwr 84

    but i get this error massage?

    eth2: No such device
    txpwr Set tx power in milliwatts. Range [1, 84]. (Deprecated: Use txpwr1 instead)

    so if i understand it right, all i have to do is this command?
    txpwr84

    is this right?

    Code:
    [admin@wl root]$ wl -i eth2 txpwr1 -m 84
    [admin@wl root]$ wl -i eth2 txpwr1
    TxPower is 77 qdbm,  19.25 dbm, 84 mW  Override is Off
    however I don't think this makes much difference...
    If you also don't see a difference in power, try:
    wl atten 0 0 120
    [ WL-500G | fw: 1.9.2.7-7f ]

    # /usr/sbin/wl -i eth1 txpwr1 -m 85
    to check..
    # wl txpwrlimit
    Current TX Power Limit: 89 mW ( 19.50 dBm)
    (it seems to go to nearest 0.25 dbm)
