bsdaiwa join:2004-06-04 Fullerton, CA	Highgain 8186HP Setup Questions I have a Highgain 8186HP setup as a bridged AP on my rooftop using an external 14db antenna. I have it setup for G only but I am not sure how to correctly set the TX Power (CCK) and the TX Power (OFDM). In addition, I am not sure about the other settings, here they are. Block Relay – Disabled IAPP – Enabled 802.11g Protection – Enabled Can anyone provide me with guidance in selecting the correct settings. Thanks.

Buuuut I'd miss The Walking Dead I'm about to play back from PVR The settings you have above are fine, the power settings are at max by default. The OFDM is the only real important one in G mode. -- OptionsDSL Wireless Internet »www.optionsdsl.ca

bsdaiwa join:2004-06-04 Fullerton, CA	So should I set them this way? CCK 26dbm (400mW) OFDM 20dbm (100mW) Those are the maximums for each setting.

What does that yield in RSSI on the other end? I did not say to use the absolute lowest possible. I said to use the lowest that does not overload the other end. -- Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. -- Stephen Vizinczey
