[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] poor WLAN performance

[From: news at pfump.org]

Hi,

there is no difference between 10mW and 100mW setting on my device. It
both works the same.

Maybe 100mW are not needed and 10mW is enough for you. I suspect that my
device is not even making 10mW. 100mW minus 15dB would mean something
like 3mW.

The best amplifier is the antenna - which seems to be ok. I can "see",
receive access points from very far away. Just can't connect.
