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% !?
Yes!
The one I bought, doesn’t overheat even at 100%, but the ISP one used to overheat even with the WiFi off.
On the other hand, I recently tried connecting my router directly to the ISPs network (trying to lose the NAT) and it was hanging every few minutes. I was running Wireshark and unable to configure it to get internet access.
I would consider the main reason for overheating to be internet traffic, but in some models, the WiFi makes the difference to.
