    AC68U: what are my options to "lower" the tx power ?

    You're seeing greater variations than I did John. I might repeat my tests with both fw as well. Is there any issue exporting/importing settings when switching back and forth between Merlin and fork?

    AC68U: what are my options to "lower" the tx power ?

    Very much appreciated John, I swapped out the Nighthawk R7000 not just for the product itself (AC68U), but because I saw how valuable your contribution and Eric's are here to the benefit of the community. Thanks again Peppe

    AC68U: what are my options to "lower" the tx power ?

    Thanks a lot John for your attention. I've indeed rebooted the unit, with no luck. I'm running Merlin 3.0.0.4.376.48_1 at the moment. Do you think there could be any relevant differences in the wireless drivers or anything else between the two fw and that can explain the difference in...

    AC68U: what are my options to "lower" the tx power ?

    Yes, that's the point. I just want to keep it as safe as possible without sacrificing opportunities. The router is indeed standing high, rarely at less than 3mt from anyone, on average 5mt. Yet, I want to try as much as I can to find a way, either via UI or CLI, to play the tx power down...

    AC68U: what are my options to "lower" the tx power ?

    Hi to all, I've been reading quite a lot today among several threads here, and was left with a feeling that I hope is "not" confirmed. I just got my AC68U, and one of the winning points over the Nighthawk R7000 was the ability to lower the tx power. I discovered early that with either the...
