There are two reasons, first, the TX power increase does you no good if the other end is also not increasing its power.
The second reason is that increasing the Tx power will also introduce noise at the top end of the amps range. Noise will cause retransmits which will hurt throughput. If you really need that kind of power output, get a device with a high quality amp, like this card: http://www.xagyl.com/store/product.php?productid=16426&cat=0&page=1&featured or this one: http://www.xagyl.com/store/product.php?productid=16404&cat=251&page=1 Of course this does not come without cost, that first card costs close to $100. You can get cheaper ones, but just because the device says it can handle 500 mW, does not mean that it can do so particularly well. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkquv0gACgkQwRXgH3rKGfNvLACdFEOnkPhummGm3HP/xlmnOUVk sXMAoKzi5eiJGv9Ruz/BSGD7WP08ER/B =2N0w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
