Help fine-tuning XR2 TxPower

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi all,

I need to adjust an Ubiquity XR2 TxPower from the original 28dBm to about 20dBm in a RB600.

I know the adjustments in the wireless interface can go from 1dBm up to 26dBm but they are relative and I think the default (17dBm) is the cardā€™s factory default resulting in 28dBm from the card, am I right?

If so, where should I put the TxPower to obtain the desired 20dBm output? Is there any reference table around?

Any hint would be of great help.

Thanks! :smiley:

Use card rates and set value to 20 db

Thatā€™s it?

I didnā€™t know RouterOS could control the exact power of the card because there are so many card optionsā€¦

It works for any card?

Thanks a lot!

The XR2 has a 10db offset in MT. Here is the link to show you

To get the desired 20 db output you would want to set it to 10 db.

Beautifulā€¦

Much more than I could ever ask.

Thank you!

That offset was compensated for in Version 3

Hmm, thatĀ“s good to know. Because of RB600 Iā€™m using ROS 3.7.

Thanks.
