Edimax, was known as accesss point economical, but was acknowledged competent and stable, very much was suitable to be used as radio outdoor. In the opportunity this time, we will analyse the increase in the Edimax achievement by means of upgraded firmware, with used firmware the third party, that is firmware belonging to Ultra WAP, you could find link download him in:
http://freenet-antennas.com/v-web/portal/73/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=27
To update firmware, was enough to be easy, update firmware in the menu\Upgrade\, don't forget ReSet, after the process update was finished or was successful.
Unfortunately interface of the firmware that was new this not all that attracted, in fact tended empty, but was 2 fitur just in the part\Advanced Setting\, in part:
1.Tx Power, to your menu could increase Tx power from Edimax, but don't misjudge was increasingly small he thought in this column, then increasingly big power that was spent, smallest 25%, and biggest 100%, so in the value 25% Tx increase power in the maximal position and will increase very drastic, in test this time I compared him with firmware original and firmware just was Ultra WAP, used tool Netstumbler, results:
Ultra WAP Tx Power vapour 25% = 50
Ultra WAPTx Power vapour 50% = 49
Ultra WAP Tx Power vapour 75% = 43
Ultra WAP Tx Power vapour 90% = 40
Ultra WAP Tx Power vapour 100% = 37
Firmware Original Edimax the version 1,26 of = 43
behind the sign (=) was the measurement of the strength of the signal
Was seen by you personally above, the increase that was produced quite very drastic, but as a result, Edimax radio equipment also hotter, be careful if you used him in the level power highest, added the fan or fan in addition if using him continually.
2. Fitur that was second was fitur WMM, this was fitur QoS (Quality of Service) that was useful to increase the achievement of the transfer of the multimedia data (the Video) and VOIP (the voice). Was like this the book review this time, in fact had several firmware just for Edimax, was discussed by us in the future, OK?
