What it all ends up coming down to, is how much performance can I get at the lowest RF/WiFi foot print.įor most of us, running the lowest possible power is more than enough to connect in our limited space. Here is what the Channel Bandwidth at 20mhz looks like: You can see how huge the 40mhz dlink channel is compared to everyone else - it is walking all over their channel - 20mhz would be more friendly/neighborly
They also have an Android release version. Home site, inexpensive, new - what I use: You can look at your wireless landscape by using something like inSSIDer to see local AP's: In a clean wireless area, I might keep it at 300mbps just for fun My Internet connection is 50mbps, so there is no performance difference between 144mbps and 300mbps, so I run 20mhz here. That is why I reduced my power output to 10mW - I don't need more. If you don't need the wide Channel Bandwidth to get your work done, ie: it doesn't help performance, you could force it to 20mhz - and reduce your interference with others near you.
Pale Moon, good news, when I first connected at 2.4ghz it connected at 144mbps, but after tweaking the Channel Bandwidth from 20mhz/40mhz to 40mhz and it connected at 300mbps at 2.4ghz.Īt my location there are a gazillion 2.4Ghz AP's, so I don't even bother with 2.4ghz, and go straight to 5ghz, and even there I need to place my signal center carefully. My Tx power adjustment i 80 mW by default though. option in my channels, only 20/40.since i'm on the 2.4 Ghz. My settings are almost like yours, except my WLAN Atheros doesn't support 5 Ghz.
