Thanks! 13 dBm is less than half the power than my current setting |
| 16 |
(which itself is a tentth of the power I tried before). I just |

switched it, we'll see if there's any imrpovement! |

OpenWrt allows you to switch output power from 0 dBm (1 mW) up to 27 |
| 20 |
dBm (501 mW)... possibly to your own detriment. :) |

My router is in a basement directly beside concrete wall and floor, so |

I've always wondered how much distortion may be caused by that. I've |

tried adjusting the angle/direction of the antennas but with no |
| 25 |
noticeable difference in results. |
