zardeefonder Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Can I have some opinions on whether this would work with with the Mark IV? http://www.amazon.com/Amped-Wireless-1000mW-Booster-SB1000/dp/B004MDQQ04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1332469116&sr=8-8 They aren't cheap but if it but it it even doubled the area the signal coverage it might be worth it. I am also wondering if it would work with a directional antenna? Anybody have a history with one of these or maybe another brand of booster?

Smackwater Jack Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think 1000mw is pretty standard and the pineapple is already transmitting at that strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Recreational wifi (or any RF) transmitting at higher than 1watt (1000mw) is illegal in the US. Don't forget that INCLUDES antenna db as well :) telot Edited March 23, 2012 by telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Using iw you should be able to adjust the tx-power of the WiFi Pineapple. I believe the default is 20 or 23. The values are set in /etc/config/wireless and you can manually adjust them with iw and iwconfig -- though I should point out that if you're not experienced with this sort of stuff I'd refrain from tinkering until some sort of solid guide is posted. You may have to set your region to BO first (Assuming you live in Bolivia *This isn't legal otherwise*) Here's some additional reading on the matter https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=152568 https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=146550 Next time I'm working on the pineapple I'll see what I can come up with.

anode Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 According to the spec sheet, its 25dB (316mW) and 27dB (500mW) http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=R36&Category=105463 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extender diagram is actually what I want it to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptrac3 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If i do iwlist txpower i get wlan0 unknown transmit-power information. Current Tx-Power=18 dBm (63 mW) mon.wlan0 unknown transmit-power information. Current Tx-Power=18 dBm (63 mW) Anybody was able to change them? Tried with modifying the /etc/config/wireless adding txpower 20 or a iwconfig txpower on the fly but didn't succed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
