Antenna Gain - Wireless Interface property

RouterOS General
1

Can anyone tell me if I should be entering anything into the ‘Antenna Gain’ field on the wireless interface property sheet? It defaults to 0 - my antenna is marked at +9db … not sure if I should enter 9 or just leave it at 0. If I enter 9, what does that tell MT to do differently than entering 0 ?

Thanks all,
Sam

PS. Mikrotik rocks!

This uses the antenna gain together with radio gain to make sure that you do not go outside of regulations for output power.

So i really should enter it, but not entering it might get me more power?
