Weak Power Output - WRT54G v5

I have recently bought a WRT54G v5. The power output is weak. I can barely get a signal (sometimes no signal) with my router only about 80 feet away, with two walls in the way. The router is set on top of a bookcase near the ceiling and my computer is on top of my desk.
I believe I can get a better signal if I can increase the power output, but v5 has no third party firmware that can do this. Is there any way I can increase the power output or get rid of VxWorks for Linux?

Try to use a compatible Signal Booster/Range Expander

  • Can setting power output level at 65mw cause a one year old router to fail?

    Recently my router WRT54GS v2.1 that is only one year old but has been in 24/7 service failed and the technician that worked on it said the failure was probably due to the power output level being set at 65mw and other firmware settings ( particulars available ) that had been used but were working fine to provide wireless service. The output was fed to a Smart Amp 500mw power amplifier with Automatic Gain Control then through 30 feet of 400 cable to an Omni-directional 14 dbi antenna. Coincidentally the power amp seemed to fail at the same time. The maximum input to the Smart Amp which has AGC is 23dBm (200mw) max. Is it possible that the firmware configuration and the 65mw setting were responsible for the failure of either or both devices?

    If the ABS and Router/Modem are both giving IP Addresses out, (that's what tells everything on the Network where to send/get stuff to/from), then everything gets confused... a bit like trying to get US Mail delivered when your street has 2 names, and your abode has the same address as other houses on the block!
    You just want the ABS to pass on the IP addies that the Router hands out, and not try to do it itself.
    If your base station is connected to a router or other network device that is using NAT to share a single Internet connection with multiple computers on your network, and you are using DHCP to provide private IP addresses, you need to turn off NAT and DHCP on the AirPort base station.
    Most networks need only one device using NAT and DHCP to provide IP addresses.
    To turn off NAT and DHCP:
    Open AirPort Admin Utility, select your base station, and click Configure.
    Click Network and deselect the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
    If your base station supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), by default the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox is not selected, and the base station is not using NAT or DHCP.
    With NAT and DHCP turned off, the base station acts as a simple bridge between the wired and wireless computers on the network.

  • Question about the effective radiated power of WRT54G wireless router

    Dear Sir,
    As I knew that the output power of this router is 18dbm (about 64mW), can I have more technical information of the WRT54G wireless router as follow :
    Q1) What is the effective radiated power output of WRT54G ?
    Q2) What is the gain of each antenna in the WRT54G wireless router ?
    Q3) Are there any antenna product of your company which offer higher dB gain and can be used in this router?
    Q4) Are there any router product of your company which has higher effect output power.  If yes, can you please offer a soft copy of the specification (including the effective radiated power output) of such router ??
    I should be grateful if you can answer me through this forum
    Many thanks.

  • How to adjust power output of time capsule

    I was told that the power output of the time capsule is adjustable and that Apple does not ship the units at full power. Is this correct?

    All of them are defaulted to 100%.. and you cannot adjust the actual power output.. You can reduce the wireless in steps of 25%.
    Click on Transmit power.. you are offered.. 10% 25% 50% 75% and 100%. Yet to see anyone set to a lower value.. their wireless output is to be frank.. low.. at the best of time.
    Max wireless output is regulated in different markets.. so each TC is set to a region to ensure it complies to local regs. And you cannot change the region (you can change between a few countries in a region.. like european ones.. but all follow Euro ETSI codes) on a TC .. it is locked into firmware.

  • How do I get the 600 ex-rt off of ratios and put in power output?

    I can't find it anywhere in my manual or the custom functions. For instance, it is showing the ratio of 1:4 instead of the power  output of 1/4 power.
    I am using a Mark III.
    Thank you!

    You have to put it in manual mode, instead of eTTL.

  • What is the AE's power output in watts?

    Hello!
    I've been unable to find out what the Airport Extreme's power output (not consumption) is in watts.
    This spec isn't on Apple's page of AE tech specs.
    Can anyone tell me and give me a source link?
    Thank you!

    "nominal" would be an average reading over a number of different distances. Readings would be somewhat higher if a computer were close to the router, and obviously somewhat less if the signal has to pass through 3-4 walls.
    The figure doesn't really tell you very much since there really is no way to accurately predict wireless performance in advance in any given situation due to all the variables involved.

  • Why does music differ in quality between devices,do ipod classic/iphone/macbook and nano have different power output ratings

    Why does my music sound so differant on seperate devices ?.
    same song differs in quality between ipod classic , nano , macbook and ipad.
    do the devices have power output ratings if so is one more powerful than the other ?.
    same song , same headphones all downloaded from the same source

    Doesn't anybody have any ideas why diagnostics say "no universal serial bus controller found" and yet founds connected device information just fine?
    IPod and iPhone appears in itunes and device manager with no problem, but syncing stops with error everytime.
    Do you think that this would be an issue with: ITunes, Windows 8 or Asus Maximus V Formula motherboard?
    Am I right, that diagnostics should find universal serial bus controller even though there was nothing attach to it?
    Am I alone with this problem?
    I have also iPod 4gb and iPod 8gb, which shows in itunes, but I'm affraid to sync them if those stops same way.

  • Changing power output for Airport Extreme Card

    How do you change the power output for the Airport Extreme Card? Is there a program that I can download to change airport's settings or the Airport Extreme Card's settings?
    i.e. If the default power output for the Airport Extreme Card is 18mW, I would like to increase it to 25mW.

    There is no way for a user to control the power output of the AirPort Extreme card.
    Furthermore if the card was manufactured to output 18mW there is no magical way to increase it's physical ability so it can output more power.

  • Psu power outputs

    Hi all
    I was just wondering how i tell what the power output readings are taken (without a multi meter as i lost mine ages ago)im running pc alert4 and know the program doesnt read temps well but what it does say is
    Vcore 1.78
    3.3v 3.26-3.28v
    +5v 4.89v
    12v  11.46-11.48v
    do these seem ok as im keeping tabs on my cheap psu as my last one was murder.
    its also says 28c cpu and 36-38c sys which is tallying with bios so it doesnt appear to do to bad a reading temps from what i heard pc alert sucked :D

  • Graphics Power output through Thunderbolt/Displayport?

    I'm considering connecting my 2011 iMac 27" to my HDTV via Thunderbolt/Displayport to HDMI adapter to try some HTPC-style gaming.  If I do this, will I be fully  utilizing the 6970m's graphics power to output to the HDTV, or will performance suffer?  What can I do to ensure I'm getting equal or better (being that resolution will be lower on the HDTV vs the 27" iMac) performance output to my TV compared to playing it directly on the iMac?
    Info:
    2011 iMac 27"
    Quad-core i5 @ 3.1ghz
    16gb RAM
    240gb Vertex 3 SSD
    Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Bootcamp, (but I have games on both platforms)
    Thunderbolt port>adapter>HDMI cable>Reciever>TV

    So the thunderbolt/displayport is/can be a true extension of the 6970's video output just like a second output on a traditional graphics card?  I'm still trying to wrap my head around Apple's design logic...

  • USB Power output

    I just bought a portable usb harddrive that gets its power from the usb port. However, the amps are to low to power it. Is there anyway to boost the amp output of the usb port?

    I have a similar problem and have a multitude of portable, bus-powered, usb hard drives. I have found that it also seems to be a formatting issue more than a power issue. While I have an assortment of usb power cables and power adapters for my drives my G4 powebooks don't always recognize them as even existing. Curiously enough a drive that my powerbook can find and access while it is formatted as an NTFS drive (windows XP compatible), it will not find at all if it formatted as FAT32 (PC and Mac compatible) or HPFS (Mac only). This even happens if I am erasing and formatting the drive using the Disk Utility in OSX. It works while in NTFS mode, then when re-formatted and rebooted the powerbook can never find it again. I am kind of wondering if it is a GB limitation in drive size vs formatting in OSX.
    I can say that the spin-up amperages required by manufacturers are a little suspect at times. The same manufacturer that says my notebook doesn't put out the 1A required for the drive to start is the same one that says it can sell me a .5A power adapter to fix my problem and is the same one whose drive seems to work fairly often without any additional power at all. Now I am no math genius but that doesn't seem to add up at all. There is also something to be said for the length of USB cable you are using. Most manufacturers will tell you, and I can also say from experience, that a USB cable longer than about 22 inches will usually require an additional power source for the drive, and that anything getting over 10ft and being bus-powered is unlikely to work. Once you reach that length you really need to include a self-powered USB hub in the serial chain.

  • Power output hardware for LV Function Generator

    Dear all,
    I would like to design a rectangular pulse generator width adjustable pulse width in LV to build a stroboscope for a power LED.
    Are you aware of simple hardware diagrams or devices that could convert the low current output from a PC connected DAQ device to drive a high power LED with a power consumption in the 1-3 Amps range? (Note, the LED is run with constant voltage, brightness is controlled by current).
    Many thanks for consideration
    Holger

    Thanks Lynn, I am not an electronic expert but are you saying that
    I should connect the signal output to the gate of the MOSFET? Direct with no resistor etc?
    Connect the DAQ signal ground with the ground of the LED driver?
    Would the simple example here work: http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/transistor/tran_7.html
    Can you give a suitable Power MOSFET type number?
    many thanks for your help
