Boosted240 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 On the new firmware, I'm still having txpower issues. I have 3 radios, and I've put settings in the wireless config for each one. radio 1 = 27dbm radio 2 = 24dbm radio 3 = 24dbm After changing the config and rebooting, this is what I get: root@Pineapple:~# iwconfig wlan2 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off lo no wireless extensions. wlan1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=30 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Master Tx-Power=18 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Any ideas?

Nicob Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Same here, it was working for me in 1.0.4 but I am unable to set txpower of wlan0 in 1.1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabasoya Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Watching for the 'official' answer, mine hasn't worked in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff0ne Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) From my understanding this restriction with the Atheros chipset on wlan0 was to be lifted in the current new firmwar Edited July 12 by Geoff0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't have the room or battery power left to incorporate something like that into my Raspple Pie. Do these things actually work?

Geoff0ne Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I don't think its a priority as a fix would effectively allow noobs to own an entire neighbourhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't think its a priority as a fix would effectively allow noobs to own an entire neighbourhood. Or burn out the radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluxCapacitor Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 You likely have to do something like this: http://blog.binaryfactory.ca/2012/09/setting-txpower-as-high-as-your-card-can-go/ I recently used that to turn my Alfa card up higher than the 20dbm it came "stuck" at out of the box.

You did this on the Pineapple? Or Kali linux? The USB wifi cards I've tried to change work fine in Kali, just not the Pineapple. Its also odd that wlan1 with just jump to 27 or 30dbm no matter what command is issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
