Most Powerful G AP?

Call me stupid . . . OK . . . now that's out of everyone's system. But I'me
having difficultly working through specs to find the most power AP
transmitter. Seen some in the 37mw range. I just assumed there would be more
power avaialble.

Doesn't the FCC or CRTC (in Canada) regulate that? I think they can only be
so powerful.

oesn't the FCC or CRTC (in Canada) regulate that? I think they can only be
:so powerful.

The FCC limit depends on exactly how you do your wireless (frequency
hopping, spread spectrum) but the maximum is 1 Watt to the antenna
plus a 6 dBi gain at the antenna (so, total 4 Watt EIRP). But you
can increase your EIRP by 3 dBi for every 1 dBi you decrease your
power to the antenna -- so if you decrease your power to your
antenna by 3 dBi you can increase the antenna gain by 9 dBi for
a total EIRP gain of 6 dBi (i.e, a net doubling of power.)

CRTC has nothing to do with it. It's Industry Canada that regulates such
things.

Fundamentalism is fundamentally wrong.

106% ?

no way...

But who's gonna tell the FCC unless your increase in power results in
some form of interference to non related parties?

Conisder also that if you increase the transmitter power without increasing
the sensitivity of the reciever, then for a given card, the range may
not change much, as the weaker connection may be in the other direction.
