To WiFi users.

Do you reduce your router’s WiFi Transmit Power to the bare minimum as required by you?

  • Do you just keep it at the default 100%
  • Did you not know you could reduce it (until now)
  • Are you not able to control “your” WiFi router because it’s the ISP provided router and they didn’t give you the password?
  • Do you actually require the 100% !?

    The bare minimum required by me is past the default my ISP-provided router allowed and I ened up having to do a bunch of extra stuff to get full coverage.

    So no.

        I needed a better router. Unfortunately my provider pretends that isn’t a real thing.

          My answer to a crappy ISP router is to turn off its WiFi and plug my own into ethernet.

            Yep, that’s where things ended up, more or less.

            There are more… aggressive workarounds. And zero reason to ever need them in the first place. ISPs are dumb.
