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% !?

    Yes, but only for 2.4 ghz since I live in a small apartment and there’s no benefit to high transmit power in those cases. 5 ghz is another story since it doesn’t penetrate walls easily anyway, so no harm to others.

      Hehe, I am still using my old router with only the 2.4GHz band. Mostly just as a switch, but the WiFi is useful sometimes.
