Your videos are USEFUL, EASY TO UNDERSTAND and VERY INTERESTING. I'm learning a lot from your channel and I hope you keep uploading new videos. THANK YOU
I hope people wont replace their antennas with something like 8 or 10dbi antenna, changing antennas may improve your coverage but only in 1 direction, a 2-3dbi antenna is considered a bidirectional antenna and has a something like coverage of in spherical, if you use 5-10dbi, the coverage will start go oblong. so what will happen if you change your antenna with high gain? at first you will see improvements on signal, but if your house have a 2nd floor, any device up there will have problems communicating to your router with high gain antenna. I can only see this high gain antenna usable if you have a AP that is mounted on ceiling, just like what most AP that Ubiquity offers that have 6-10dbi antenna internal and because of how it was installed in the first place either in wall or ceiling, either it will improve your wifi signal vertically or horizontally.
so the reason you got poor signal/connection in your backyard really was because you didn't turn on your access point? i.e. nothing to do with the transmit power?
As I said in the video the signal was rather strong in the backyard but I just was not able to connect! The reason for that was because there was only one way connection due to using too much transmit power! Possible solutions for me would be to 1-Relocate the main wireless router. 2- Use high gain antennas. 3- Use a secondary router/AP. I chose #3 because I already had a secondary Router/AP which I had forgotten to turn back on. Basically if I hadn't used too much power I probably wouldn't have receive any signal in the backyard, but the solution definitely was not to increase the transmit power! I hope that makes sense! Thanks!
@@Behfor , I reduced my transmit power by 80% via login NetComm NF10WV modem/router settings, however when I checked with android WiFi signal strength apps, it still shows no reduction in WiFi signal strength. Why is that?
I ran into your video while looking for info on "CE transmit power", for which there is pretty much no info. The reason? TP-Link added this to a mesh system upgrade, and I'm trying to figure out if this is something I should concern myself with. I'm trying to decide between the older Deco M4 or the newer (costlier) S4, whose only difference is the addition of this mysterious CE transmit power. Any idea about it?
this video just solved my biggest mystery of why can my laptop connect to the wifi network just fine from across the apartment meanwhile my phone is struggling to stay connected
*Help Hi , I'm from Egypt . I have a problem. I made transmit power to 25% , but it doesn't work. I am at the end of the home , and my cell phone has strong wifi. I need to less the strength power because the neighbours, can you help me,please?*
Is it still worth buying an asus rt-ac68u? Its a pretty old model but I need to add an access point to my current rt-ac86u and dont wanna spend the $170 on another 86u.
a high gain antenna on the router will not affect how well the phone can reach the antenna of the router. a high gain antenna on the router will only squish the radiated pattern down flatter horizontally, but the phone's radiation pattern still needs to make contact with the antenna, not the radiated propagation coming from the router. not to say a high gain antenna couldn't help, but just not for the reasons you state
Here is a quote from the CWNA study guide (6th edition) Chapter 15: "Many people do not understand the simple concept of antenna reciprocity, which means that antennas amplify received signals just as they amplify transmitted signals. A high-gain antenna on an access point will amplify the AP's transmitted signal and extend the range at which the client is capable of hearing the signal. The AP's high-gain antenna will also amplify the received signal from a distant client station." Feel free to read the whole chapter, for more details. Thanks.
Do you recommend two different SSIDs when theres another AP? I know there’s a lot of in between details before recommending someone that option. My question is for a 2nd floor AP.
You can, if that's what you need do in your network (and obviously if your wireless router or access point has the option)! Too much power is not the right solution to extend the range, that's why with normal wireless routers you usually cannot go beyond certain limits unless you install a third party firmware, which as mentioned in the video is not recommended and might even be illegal!
I have a question, this is a scenario, if someone can reset the Router to default factory settings, can they still be able to get access to the rest of the network information? including WI FI password?
Thank you for your suggestion, however, I think you should have said "I came here for knowledge not entertaining ..." because I don't think if you can talk for everyone else!! thank you though.

THANK YOU
Awesome! I'm very very happy you found these video useful! :-)
Are you related to electroBOOM?
Same vibe 😂
I was thinking the same lol
Lol maybe he is the closest relative or maybe his younger brother
He and electroboom are persian
That's happened to me once or twice. Thanks
Yeah this issue can be really common if too much power is used! Thanks :-)
This guy is into cinema. You can tell.

Never knew this at all.

Really good explanation
Glad you liked it, thanks 👍🏻
on Tomato firmware, they recommend setting the transmit power to no more than 70-72

Glad to hear that this video was helpful for you, thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Another great and instructional video!!! Thanks
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching my videos :-)
You made my day!!!!
That's great 😀👍
I noticed that your plants are moving.
Is it safe to sleep while your plants are moving?
The purpose of that plant was to hide my microphone in it back then :))
Good points discussed.
Informative!
*Help
Hi , I'm from Egypt .
I have a problem. I made transmit power to 25% , but it doesn't work. I am at the end of the home , and my cell phone has strong wifi.
I need to less the strength power because the neighbours, can you help me,please?*
great video thank you!

What if i reduce transmit power from 100% to 20% ???
Do you recommend two different SSIDs when theres another AP? I know there’s a lot of in between details before recommending someone that option.
My question is for a 2nd floor AP.
Thanks
Great 👍
Thanks🙏
Is there a way to ignore the feedback from the cellphone?
Sorry, I don't think if I got what you mean! Feedback as in the echo type sound?!
Hell yeh maximum wifi if you wanna have constant headaches and sterilize yourself.. Think i opt for the good ol' shielded cables..
how can i fined my TX power for my Wireless PCI card in my Windows WORKSTATION
Idk. subscribed
If u have dual band can't u set one to low power and the other to high

Yes
Stop blaming your wi fi and get two routers😂
Why do get a strong persian accent from your voice?
Bro my transmit range is not showing on PTCL modem do some thing
hahahahaha great!!!!
you're using electroboom's style... dude... make something original don't be such a copycat!🙄
