Transmit power of various Linksys WAPs?

Is the transmit power of the older 802.11b WAP (e.g. model BEFW11S4) the
same as the newer 802.11g WAP (e.g. model WRT54G)?

Where does one find complete specs for these WAPs?

TIA...

Dave

>r 802.11g WAP (e.g. model WRT54G)?


It ships at 31mW but can be boosted to 84mW.

"We just need to execute the command /usr/sbin/wl -i eth2 txpwr 84
using the "ping hack" already described."

The ping hack is done as follows:
1. Go to the System tab of the router config.
2. Hit the "ping test" button.
3. Anything that is included in the "IP Address or Domain Name" box
will be executed once you hit ping, providing the command is enclosed
with ` ` marks, ie `/usr/sbin/wl -i eth2 txpwr 84`

------------
When your PC gives a little they give a lot.
