So assuming you live in a decent sized house/lot, should you really care about squatting all over the entire band? I mean sure I can see my neighbors wifi signals, but they are too weak for me to connect with them. So wouldn't mine be just as weak at their location, so why should I care about

Hello everyone, I am running a TP Link TL-WR1043N which (as TP Link says is a) 802.11n router working on 2.4Ghz (no support for 5Ghz). I am running it with flashed OpenWRT. While using option to pick 40Mhz, I see my Mac only gets 20Mhz to use and speed is always 130Mbps. There's no other

40MHz on 2.4 is note widely supported, and for good reason - it sucks up the entire unlicensed 2.4GHz band (if you include the 802.12 mask). On 5GHz, 20/40 are supported, and 80/160 in current and future versions of 802.11ac. On Jun 14, 2015 7:56 PM, Alexander Maassen outsi...@scarynet.org
