Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2018 14:15 Post subject: Max Tx power of Netgear R6400v2
The router's technical datasheet gives very little relevant technical information to boost the performance. Is there any place where you can get the total detailed specifications?
(e.g.) Netgear's NetGenie app gives us transmission power settings of 25% - 50% - 75% - 100%. What exactly are these values in milli-Watts? Is there any place where we can find such data?
(... arrived here here after almost an hour of google search !!)

Unless you are building a mesh network then leave it in auto which is max power of 1W. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)

Re-read my comment. There is the answer.
Whoa !!
You mean "Auto is Max Power" and "Max power is 1000 mW". Hehehehehe....rofl
Let me wait for another answer that helps me.
I would be extremely cautious about using the 1W setting, though.
What setting man? Auto IS already max. You just said it. Which is the default in ddwrt. So to put in simpler words. You WON'T get more power out of it than what you already had on Auto. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)

I'll grace that by ignoring, Xeon. Can we move on now? We are hijacking the thread, I suppose.
Just a word of caution.If Auto=1W and dd-wrt routers always run at 1W (auto), then dd-wrt would have fried many router-boards.
I have found my exact answer and I think I have a fair idea of what I needed. The wealth of information in this forum is simply great. Thank you.

Hello egc and @m0eb@,
let me know if it is OK that I write all my problems here searching for solutions.
First some details of the Router for better understanding.
Type: R6400v2 (bought in Germany/Amazon)
board_id=U12H332T30_NETGEAR
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r36247 std (06/29/1
Tried to install: dd-wrt.K3_R6400V2OTP.chk
First via the DD-WRT
Either after 5% uplaod the router restarts or stays at 1% upload with no change at all. After 10 min I restart the router.
2nd try to install via TFTP as written in the guide and at netgear.
I did it with pushing reset and without and nothing.
I see the TTL=100. After 21 sec there is a timeout and a few seconds later the router is back with TTL=64.
But this makes no difference because I see block#0 directly after the beginning.
I don't have any chance so far to install any new firmware. Any idea how to make the router open to receive a new firmware?

As I predicted, mate. There is no shortcut.
The third post in this thread tells you how to get back to original Netgear firmware with ease. I guess you are now unable to do that.
Therefore, the second post will solve your issues. Please download, read, understand and only then start to get back on track. The first five pages are enough to get your router up and going again.
When you load dd-wrt again, please follow the instructions on the first (original) post of this thread. As of now, this is the safest way to do this.
R6400v2 with board xxx30 has been an issue till only a few days back. You are lucky to have a solution ready - and this happens to be the right thread to search.

Hello @m0eb@,
tftp did not work as described in your guide.
Now I tried nmrpflash and get the following error message:
I:\04 externe Geräte\21 DD-WRT\R6400v2\Software>nmrpflash -i net1 -f R6400v2-V1.
0.2.52_U12H332T30_NETGEAR.chk
Advertising NMRP server on net1 ... /
No response after 60 seconds. Bailing out.
Also not working!!
For the last option I need the cable, which I need to find here in China. O just send it back to amazon. _________________ Netgear AC1900/R7000 DD-WRT v3.0-r37015M (09/23/18 ) kongac

Could you stop spreading ignorance around the forum?

Tried now everything in the guides, except the cable.
nothing is working so far. It looks like I am locked out for uploading anything to the router, via GUI, tptd (windows or tool 32bit version) and nmrpflash.
I do not have any idea.
Tomorrow is the last chance, then it goes back to Germany. _________________ Netgear AC1900/R7000 DD-WRT v3.0-r37015M (09/23/18 ) kongac
