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% !?

    I let the APs auto manage their tx power. Aerohive firmware does a decent job of not running wide open when it doesn’t need to. I also have 1 AP per floor to get adequate coverage.

    My cable modem doesn’t have Wi-Fi. I turned it off on my router since it’s in the basement and there’s a dedicated AP down there.
