POWER SLIDE: - http://ROUTERIP/Advanced_WAdvanced_Content.asp
===========

These are the new TX Power level reference values:


   1% => 42mW (16.2 dBm)

  25% => 83mW (19.2 dBm)

  50% => 178mW (22.5 dBm)

  75% => 355mW (25.5 dBm)

100% => 1000mW (30 dBm)


By default the FW powerslide is set to 70% (25dBm), for more information about txpower usage please read:

http://www.quantenna.com/pdf/80211nPowerSettings.pdf

NOTE: This FW will increase wireless signal strength RSSI by 10-24dbm over stock/other FWs on 2.4 and 5GHZ bands, depending on router model.

ENHANCED MODE / MAXIMUM COVERAGE option (only available on FW versions >= 380.57) can be used to gain an extra ~7-12dBm (2.4GHZ) / ~3-5dBm (5GHZ).


IMPORTANT NOTE:
===============

Local regional laws regarding RF power transmission and channels use should ALWAYS be respected when using this software.

Merlin by HGG 无法公开发布原因：

为防止用户更改路由器射频参数而导致干扰其他设备情况的发生，FCC对无线路由器制造商发出了新的监管要求，禁止路由器刷第三方固件或修改功率。尽管FCC称此举并非针对第三方路由器固件（第三方固件也可以遵守规定），但开源系统的爱好者担心路由器厂商会全面禁止刷机，所以这是服从FCC监管的最简单方案。

请大家尊重 Merlin by HGG 作者 Hugo 意愿，勿在任何公开平台分享其固件，避免不必要之麻烦！
