But i do not see 30 dbm in wireless menu. on 2.4 GHZ it's 26 dbm and on 5 GHZ 20 dbm

So it seems the patch applied correctly.

You won’t be able to use 30, 26 is the maximum then that you can use on 2,4 Ghz. On the 5Ghz I got at maximum 24, you can try to change the channel to 52 for example.

If you use a firmware without the patch the dbm values are lower.

Yeah you are right. it was 20 dbm. So i am glad it works. It's already on 52 channel by default.

I’m glad it worked out, one thing I wanted to mention is that the main reason I created the patch is to disable DFS not gaining the extra dbm. So just that you know DFS is disabled, so it won’t scan for radars when you reboot the router and the 5Ghz comes up.

I wanted this disabled because it gives me problems on some smartphones.

Well in my country no one cares what frequencies my wifi operates at or what gain has my antena. So i can have as much as my router can and set my wifi at any frequency. For these kind of situations this patch is great! Thanks to it's author.

Your opinions don’t change the law, and your language isn’t appropriate. Please consider revising your post.

Try 149 - should be 30.

Thanks for patch, i'll check the way to install it without firmware build.
