1.can anybody tell me which is the default Tx-Power of the latest OpenWRT firmware (if you don't change it)?
2.can anybody calculate from the above values the Tx-Power i'm using now?

Thanx a lot.

30mW  is about 15db
67mW is about 18dB

every 3dB will roughly double the output power.

thanx but this wasn't my question.
so i'm asking again.

1.- IIRC 28mW (maybe 29)
2.- 84mW

thanx coder.
can you give the formula to calculate it myself?

is it the "User Target: 31.75 dB" that we care about?

The discussion might have continued from here.
