7.14 wifi-qcom no superchannel?

Tue Mar 19, 2024 11:40 am

Hi,
i've a AX3 router, used as a bare AP on the 5250-5330. I'm trying to maxing out the tx power, but after a look on all the country list seems the most power is 24 (US and much others).
There's not a superchannel wich let me baypass countrylimit?
Also non ETSI country are limited...
Thanks

No, with wifi-qcom no "fancy" settings are available. No superchannel, no custom protocols (i.e. only 802.11, no nv2 nor nstreme).

That is an indoor device certified to be used with included antennas, are you sure pumping up tx power is a good idea (legal) in your area?

Thanks for your reply, now i can stop looking... :lol:

to be honest outside just outside the door of my house the signal is unstable, the outside walls are in stones and a little more power can let me use wifi on the porch without the usage of a repeater in the middle or cable another AP outside...

If i still in the params outside the wall of my home (alone house) i think i can push tx as i want as i don't interfer with no one.... so an old-good "superchannel" setting would be evaluable from devs... maybe with an expressed acceptance from the user.
 
whatever

Even if increasing tx power would solve your issues, you would have to increase in on both ends of the connection, i.e. also on your client device. Only increasing tx power on one end will make the signal look strong on the other, but actual performance will still suck.

Superchannel would be great! Not because of increasing the transmission power (I usually reduce it irl), but because of the use of "illegal" frequencies... of course not all the time, but it's great for testing when looking for a problem.

just out of curiosity I tried to set different countries, maybe I didn't understand the limit well but it seems that the country limit is not respected (it is lower than the supported one).
For example according to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... xt?id=HEAD for Panama ( PA) and for frequencies in the range 5250 - 5350 the TX power should be 30, while if I set that parameter it is 18 in the status frame.

Same for Bolivia (BO)...

My Audience running 7.13 says about Panama:
  ranges: 2402-2472/36
          5735-5835/30
          5170-5250/30
          5490-5730/24
          5250-5330/24
And that's what ROS will observe. Yes, it may happen that allowed EIRP table in ROS is not correct. But also sometimes there are certain limitations (e.g. TPC) and if device doesn't conform, it has to use lower power limits.

You can always get the table like the one above by running (inside terminal window) command
/interface/wifi/radio/reg-info country=Panama number=0

Indoor devices are certified for different tx power than outdoor devices, you can't compare your outdoor limitations here.

Ahh ok the country-info is the max for an outdoor device, ok now it's all clear. Thank you all.
