Hi
First of all i am new here and this is my first Post...
I have tried to adjust the TX Power to 30 but luci give me only the option of 199mw in US, how can i change to 500? Is there a module paramater or something i can do? Which firmware i have to use? now i am running 15.05

you need a cracked wifi driver.. check gogle
ps: read your low as you you need a licence to have transmit power greater then 20dbi = 100mW

250 mW (24 dBm) on this device is the maximum.

maybe get a better gain antenna.. or directional one.. or put the antenna on a high long pole.. also keep in mind that high power=high noise and you also have to hack receiver device power of transmit(phone, laptop.. etc as they also have max transmit power 100mW)

regarding wifi.. i find it much better(signal, stability) since i restart wifi once a day

I think a better antenna can fix this problem... I switch the wifi of at night...

The discussion might have continued from here.
