How high can you safely increase the Tx Power?
I ask because I am looking for maximum range -- I have the 7dbi antennas with the WNR834bv2 and I need this thing to be a long-distance wireless bridge.

Over-clocking:
I increased the speed to 480/240/120. The temperature now registers 152F with the heatsink installed--which seems to be ok. However, when operating in 5GHz band, the router reboots by itself soon after I initiate a file transfer over the wireless connection. Happens a couple of times already.
If I am just browsing the web the router's connections run fine for at least a good few hours. Once a wireless file download starts, the router drops all the connections (wireless + wired) within a minute.
I have to reduce the speed--unless I don't do file download over wireless connection. :(
Also, with speed @ 480/240/120 I am not seeing any noticeable file download speed increase (compared to 400/200/100) over the wireless connection while the router works.
Hi dkk991m,
480/200/100 is not a recommended clock setting. Switching to a 400/200 clock is recommended to avoid the known 'time' issue.
I have installed the 2,4GHz 7dbi antenna's on port 1 and 3. I also installed a heatsink on the router soc to keep down the heat. I do experience connection stability and an slight increase in data throughput.
Did you experienced an increased range? _________________ Linksys: WRT320N v1 converted to E2000

I did order the heatsink as suggested here. Which chip to I place it on?
I also installed the 7dbi antennae. What can I do to maximize the range? (I plan to use this as a repeater)
