#18055: option txpower ignored
------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Reporter: anonymous | Owner: developers
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: highest | Milestone: Barrier Breaker 14.07
Component: packages | Version: Barrier Breaker 14.07
Keywords: txpower too high |
------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Barrier Breaker release - TP-Link TL-WR842N/ND v1.
In /etc/config/wireless:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
...
option txpower '5'
Accidentally I discovered with Freifunk-Status installed, that it reports
20db transmit power. I checked that through:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/power
20
Setting txpower with
iw phy phy0 set txpower fixed 15mBm
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/power
20
Setting antenna_gain:
iw phy phy0 set antenna_gain 17
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/power
3
This seems to work around it for the time being.
On a TL-WR1043ND v2 setting txpower works fine.
