That sounds like a lot of power as compared to a typical link, but in reality it is very tiny. My guess is that your caution is unfounded. The AGC in the front end can probably handle 0 dBm or more with no damage.

The AGC in the front end can probably handle 0 dBm or more with no damage. So in your opinion, there will be no damage? Is there any documentation that you can offer to support this? Not that I don't take opinions, I would rather not harm a customer radio because of a faulty install.

KiZiller @rr.com	said by ehenry : ... I would rather not harm a customer radio because of a faulty install. Like EMC guy said, a definitive answer would be from the manufacturer. In light of the rest of EMC's post, it sounds like wi-fi microwave radios are not typically designed with automatic gain control of the front end strip. I have no experience with microwave radio circuit design or servicing, so my guess about the potential damage is weakened by what EMC has said. Get a piece of metal screen wire and fold it over one of the antennas. Adjust the signal to a more comfortable level with a pair of scissors.

That is the most unprofessional thing I have ever heard posted here and I hope no one actually tries it. Anything under 1/4" mesh will block all 2.4GHz radiation and possible damage the internal radios LNA.
