Hence it contains no other Radio Regulator's mark but the CCC (e.g. the US's FCC, or the EU's CE, nor Brazil's Anatel etc.!
(China does have a different 2.4 and 5.4 band!)
You're not gonna like this response:
At worse - it seems this device may only be legal to use in China (or countries recognizing the CCC's certification - I should note, in the US it's illegal to import it). At best, it simply won't work well operating out-of-specifications - meaning REGDB may likely be working as intended..
It may be working to its [calibrated] specifications.
(Side note - China only accepts their certifications...and I don't know many countries that accepts theirs.)
People here can only give you an advice that abides by the law and the regulations. What you do after that is your own business, any you don't have to let us know about it, even if it's the mere action of creating a black hole.
I think the problem may be, that the OP doesn't understand why the radio might act that way if it's calibrated for China...or what calibrating a digital radio for a certain band actually involves...or why a out-of-tune radio may be configured to Tx with low power.
(e.g. just looking at the Chinese band plan can show there may be filters in place)
This has nothing to do with the law...it does have to do with the law governing the people who made the device (as I noted before - "the compliant party")...that has to comply to the Chinese regulations at certification testing!
So...it's easy to complain about the law or even a simple file...instead of understand that radios aren't magical creatures.
By the authority vested in me, if the signal is not strong enough, work on something that will really make a difference like reducing the distance between the source and client antennas. Get your creativity on and run a wire from the main router or ISP source to the closest location where you need a wifi signal and put another router or access point there. Otherwise the power drops as per some logrithmic formula that I forgot like pirRsquare or something like that. It's just like of the street light coming in from outside your bedroom window, if you are only relying on that for light in your home. In this case if the lighting level coming through your window is not enough with the 500watt bulb, instead of negotiating with the city to install a 50,000 watt bulb, just put an additional lamp in your room and you'll come out ahead.
It is a silly, silly prospect in almost all cases to worry if your transmitter is sending out 300mW or 700mW. As you get further away the signal dwindles at the inverse value of the distance squared, I believe is the formula (or something close to that - I'm too lazy to look it up). Bottom line is that diddling over a few mW is a big waste of time - just put another access point closer to where you need the signal or if you are talking about a point to point over water connection or something like that, or two towers communicating over a large forest, use two gigantic parabolic dishes to communicate that have clear line-of-site and don't worry about the watts, just use what the router comes configured with.
You are correct, except the difference is between 8mw and 100mw, much more meaningful, and all I want is for the router to work as intended by the manufacturer and regdb, something it is not doing, and that has been established and solved by briocco1981, as such, no further discussion on this is needed here.
Also, if Brazil is similar to Latin America on the northern continent if they favor concrete or Adobe construction over the thin wall construction like the US uses then power won't matter much. I do a lot of network installs in Mexico and because so many of their buildings have 2 feet or thicker walls (near a meter thick) with this construction, almost always a unique access point is required in each room of a home or business. You can go mesh networking and all that but in Mexico it is a mostly a big waste of time because anything that causes an issue with one reflects all down the line. The LAN switch fanning out LAN cable to every location with each having a very cheap access point at every desired location of signal is the only way to go. Considering that any device can communicate with the attached peripherals no more than one room away is the norm when thinking of thick-walled construction. And even if you find a Chinese black market device to boost the output up to 5, 50 or 100W, what good is that going to do you if the laptop and smart phone don't have a 100W booster as well to talk back?
The thought that a single router can serve a home with multiple thick concrete walls is a fantasy. Those single router implementations are for US homes where each wall is defined as a couple of thin pieces of gypsum wall board and air gap. Even in this shoddy construction if you have a source for the single router placed in the corner of the home, it may not be usable several rooms away.
well... I have it working correctly... and it does make a difference... because as I said, 8mw vs 100mw does make a difference, and yes, here they use thick concrete walls so I have multiple routers, also, and please correct me if i'm wrong, the wifi link can work asymmetrically (up to a certain point of course), I have one set up this way, where download is the important factor to me, and I get ten times what I did with an old router, upload didn't change, so yeah, that's that.
