|
I have several TP 1043 but when connected to an AP the power out always stays at 5 dBm ...
When scanning it reads up to 18 or 20 but drops to 5 dBm on connection. I can see this is the power output from measurements on my APs..
This happens with both normal and WISP (superchannel) units as I run a WISP.
This causes low received signals at the AP..
Any ideas please?
Build 14896
Thanks.. |

|
As title, your cryptic response I assume means to upgrade to the 15334 build that I see others have issues with...
WHAT does the antenna gain field do - does it allow higher powers if you put (say) -10 dB for antenna gain?
I would assume that is the case...
Anyone else have issues with power output please!?!? |

I'm running 14896, and i've set my TX power to 20dBm and antenna gain to 3dBi. The Status tab reports it to be transmitting at 20dBm.
I'm running G-only, if that helps. |

As title....
When in CLIENT mode, searches at 19 dBm ... when associated it ALWAYS jumps to 5 dBm.
Otherwise power behaves ok in AP mode...
Suggestions please?? |

As for now 1043ND with DD-WRT in N mode is not very stable, especially the client mode.

|
Thanks... for sad confirmation.
I have found the DDWRT revert to factory file and flashed two routers back to factory, then to the latest Open WRT.
I don't like Open WRT but it does (seem) to work; however is a lot more complex to setup.
It would be good if we had a DD WRT version for this great router!
Many thanks again. |
