Hello
I have 2 Linksys wrt3200acm routers, one with max 26tx and 2 with 30tx in the same settings.It's the same firmware, I don't know why. Maybe someone knows what's going on. Previous firmware versions were exactly the same. I would like both to have the same power. Both are set to USA. Thank you

What DD-WRT firmware version is currently flashed?

[Marcin135]

DD-WRT v3.0-r54682 std (01/02/24)

[dale_gribble39]

The information is probably hard-coded in the wireless hardware, but the only way to be sure is to do a full reset after upgrading to current release (54905 as of this post). Keep in mind, do not select "reset to defaults" under "After flashing". The reset has to be done after the router reboots.

I have had this 26tx router for a long time and it was like this all the time. I bought the 30tx one and dd wrt was already originally installed there. This is the router originally purchased from the flash router website. How can I increase the power in my old one and why is it that one has 26 and the other 30?

FWIW, even though both are set to 30dBm, my wlan0 shows 24dBm and wlan1 shows 30dBm on the wireless status page on my WRT3200ACM.

This depends on the regulatory domain, the selected channel and the sales region of the router.

If the maximum is really 26dB, it almost certainly sounds like a European channel / region

[Marcin135]

I know what you mean, but when two routers are placed next to each other, one has a longer range than the other. of course I checked one by one. And I had both of them set to the US (identical settings).

[ho1Aetoo]

Again, this depends not only on the regulatory domain but also on the channel selected
Different channels have different transmitting powers.

And there are different versions of the WRT3200 sold in different regions with different calibration data

[Marcin135]

I will write again, the settings are the same, identical, all settings are cloned
how to set them so that they are the same and have the same transmitting power

not at all topic closed

And I don't care about your "same settings" - as there is also the "auto channel" setting - in this setting the WLAN channels are selected automatically - and AGAIN different channels have different transmitting powers.

apparently you don't read what we have written or can't understand it

there are different versions of the router for the American and European market

Please provide information from the hardware vendor(s), thanks.

[Marcin135]

Is there any way to check it without disassembling it? If not, there is no problem, from what I see there are only 4 screws

[ho1Aetoo]

I think I would have to install openwtr if so, I wouldn't want to do that unless I'm wrong. I was going to buy a UART and start learning how to use this device. not necessarily starting with Linksys so as not to break something, but if someone could help me, it would be great.Maybe I'll take these two devices apart first and compare the motherboards
