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% !?

    When I lived in and apartment, I used a WRT wifi router as my bridge, for the sole purpose to boost the signal strength to the maximum, just to power through the interference from other apartments. My house came prewired with Cat-6 cables, so now I have small wifi hubs at minimum strength on each floor for my phone and home automation.

      Yeah, it would have helped for your neighbours to have reduced their power a bit.
