Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] [OpenWrt] 2.4Ghz limited to 50mW in DFS-ETSI

Hi, my main problem isn't the 17dBm on the lower 5ghz channels. I can happily use a higher channel with DFS and 250mW (which seems to be the hardware limit). My main problem is the DFS implementation which seems to limit 2.4ghz to a lower value: I have two similar regulatory entries: country DF:

You can look up your respective country's spectrum regulations. It is possible prior versions OpenWRT didn't fully conform to each regulatory domain and were fixed in more recent versions (just as the converse is possible). For example, for the USA, here is a table of power limits for the 2.4GHz

What's more, The regulation is on the signal strength of the radiated signal, not the transmitter power. so if you go to max transmitter power and add a better antenna, you actually exceed the limits. There is apparently an exception to this for point-to-point use. But you still can't use

Hi, I also thought to have used 20dBm or 23dBm in earlier releases (AA). Is there a way to find out to which txpower levels the 5Ghz transceiver is limited? I think the driver reads them out, maybe there is a way to print them on the cmd? But my main problem is the 17dBm on 2.4Ghz when setting

Ben is right, take a look at https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=42197 In newer Openwrt versions the kernel modules are compiled to respect the reg-domain settings programmed in hardware. Kind regards ... sent from my iPhone Am 30.07.2015 um 17:11 schrieb Ben West b...@gowasabi.net:

This is what I observe running Barrier Breaker on UBNT M5 products, too. I believe the 17dBm limit is intentional, i.e. per regulation. The 30dBm tx power limit applies to channels 149 and above, I believe. Also (kind of off-topic): Do you know why 5Ghz channels 36-48 are forced to be 17dBm
