    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Touché ;) But I was thinking more along the lines of something like this: http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-antennas-accessories/prod_white_paper0900aecd806a1a3e.doc/_jcr_content/renditions/0900aecd806a1a3e_null_null_null_08_07_07-05.jpg (the pointy things in...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    True, but I figure no antenna-design is perfectly round. Most of the omnidirectional I've come across has variations i.e. in the middle of the "doughnut". On the other hand that might be more out of curiosity. In reality the difference is probably smaller than I'd ever notice though, plus the...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it out! I imagine that the coverage of the antennas is a bit doughnut-shaped (from what I've read they are dipole dual-band antennas?!), the question is if it will lessen the signal strength within the house too much as well. I assume it would have...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Interesting. I'm still not entirely sure if it's good with Multicast rates (I haven't got IPTV), but it might be interesting to try to meddle with, if nothing else to learn how it works :) The multiple AP-part is along the lines of what I was originaly thinking about with the...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Thanks! I'll definitely keep my hands of the multicast settings then. I mixed it up with the mandatory data rates. That does what I intended, but on the other hand it can't be changed in the GUI (or elsewhere either I think!?).

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Ah so it's just there for the show. I hadn't tried it at all. Thanks for your effort to try it! :) I am thinking about the Multicast Rate(Mbps) on the same page. In the drop-box there are different types of modulations. I have no idea what it does as of now, but as soon as the rest of the...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Thanks for your reply. I suppose that may well be the case. It's just that I'm amazed with all the new functionality so I though it might be worth to give it a try and ask here. :) Strange, I can still change the Tx power at the bottom of my http://router-ip/Advanced_WAdvanced_Content.asp I...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Hello, it sure is, but as I mentioned in the original post that would decrease connection in remote places of the house as well. What I'm looking for is more of a cutoff level, to remove the slowest data rates all together. Thanks for the suggestion though :)

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Hello and thanks everyone for a great forum, I just got an Asus RT-AC87U currently using Merlin 378.56_2 and everything is running great, in fact even a bit too good. Using the 2.4GHz band I get connection about 100 meters (~300 ft) from our house. I suppose it's not really a critical issue...
