Hello.
I set the output on Openwrt One to 20 dBm,
but when I measure it with a WiFi analyzer, the output is low, around -2 dBm to 2 dBm.
Is there any guidance on this?
Version: 24.10.2
Model: Openwrt One
What is wifi analyzer?
2dBm means something like 1m coverage range….

The TX power was set to 20dBm and measurements were taken from a close distance of less than 2 meters. While other commercial devices achieved over 15dBm under similar conditions, only OpenWRT's TX power was -2dBm.
Was it DFS-d?
Even in non-DFS areas, the overall txpower is low.
We have three OpenWrt Ones, and all three have low TX power.
Hi,
I am a student working on a research project and also have to modify some attributes of the Openwrt One's TX power. Could you please let me know how you modified the firmware/driver to do so? Thank you.
I am extremely out of my league here, but could it be user error, like say using a 10:1 probe without taking that into account?
Have you tested other routers to compare?
Do you want mac80211 wireless driver for MediaTek MT7xxx series from https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/mediatek.html
or
The MT7981B_Wi-Fi6_Platform .pdf’s from here: https://one.openwrt.org/hardware/
