If stock is 32mW...
Stock Buffalo at 100% is the same as 10mW in Tomato and dd-wrt.

IMHO dd-wrt default of 70mw is too high even if many people get away with it.

Restarting the notebook did the trick, I think. Very strange.

Disappointing wireless performance was the reason I switched to Tomato.

Has anybody had problems with Buffalo's firmware with regard to wireless range or was wireless range always good with WHR-HP-G54s?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21969351 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:24:57 EDT HP-G54, Wireless range of Stock vs Tomato http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21965805 anon : I decided to go back to the stock firmware after using Tomato for awhile.

As far as I know the default transmit power, 10 mw, in Tomato puts out the same amount of power as 100% setting in the stock firmware.

Yet, my wireless range is a bit worse. With Tomato, I would almost always get 4 bars (full strength) in the farthest room on the 2nd floor. Now I get 1. Web surfing used to be perfect, like having an actual wire, but now it's impossible. Web sites will not respond.

If output power is the same, why did wireless range decrease? Are there some settings I need to change?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21965805 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:48:05 EDT
