To WiFi users.

Do you reduce your router’s WiFi Transmit Power to the bare minimum as required by you?

  • Do you just keep it at the default 100%
  • Did you not know you could reduce it (until now)
  • Are you not able to control “your” WiFi router because it’s the ISP provided router and they didn’t give you the password?
  • Do you actually require the 100% !?

    I just like keeping it at a minimum, thinking that maybe it would reduce noise for others. Not that it really matters to anyone. Just a “feel good” thing.

        I’m pretty sure none of my neighbours is techy enough to even know about WiFi Analyser.
        Also, it’s not congested enough yet.

        Maybe if someone were to be making a 2.4 GHz receiver as an amateur project, it would matter.

        I don’t downvote my comments.

        Unless someone proves my comment to be a bad one in a reply and I consider my comment to have been wrong. (That happened once on Reddit)

        I remove the upvote so that when I open up my history, I don’t feel weird with everything being blue. <- also, you would probably find my second reason in a previous comment somewhere else

            In jerboa I end up accidentally downvoting comment when I scroll, I imagine it must be people doing the same without even realising.
