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% !?

    I just looked at my router, it supports max transmit power settings somewhere deep in the menu, I just leave it at maximum/automatic.

    I know from debugging my wifi drivers on my laptop that at least that one does adjust its power, I am guessing it works with most other modern devices as well.

    I live in a 10-ish story apartment building and according to my router, channel utilisation is <20% for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. So, I guess it just works.
