What does this mean?No antenna . Signal goes well over 300 feet .
Prefer less range . Security . All new to me .
^^^ ThisFocus on high security and forget about limiting the range range.
I wouldn't recommend this. WiFi operates at such a low power it's already handicapped. You want good coverage in your house, if you purposely attenuate the signal, your coverage and throughput will suffer.put lt inside something. move it to basement etc
Ignore this. If you take your phone 300' away from your access point and try to get any quality throughput, you'll likely see is there really is no connection. "Hearing" an SSID is much different than having a quality connection.Signal goes well over 300 feet
Nope, its like having a ferrari in a garage that no one knows is there versus a ferrari on display for every passer by to see.This is like giving a thief the key to your car and saying on well it only has 1/4 tank of fuel
Or you can not give the thief the key in the first place...?
Don't think that hiding a SSID makes a WiFi network any more secure.A wifi network that a neighbor doesn't see is definately more secure all other things being equal.
It doesn’t. Wire shark picks up on “hidden” networks in a heartbeat.Don't think that hiding a SSID makes a WiFi network any more secure.
Too many devices, even 'new' ones that don't talk 5 ghz. My ecobee t-stat and Kasa smart switches and outlets only do 2.4 ghz.Disabling the lower frequency will limit the range some.
2.5ghz=slower speeds at higher range. 5ghz=faster speeds at lower range.
Its not a terrible idea really.
If I'm not mistaken, any stock firmware that's been updated after some date had to remove the options / settings for adjusting power levels. This is only for the US and US-specific firmware and is due to an FCC regulation. 3rd-party firmware is typically "global" and may or may not care about US regulations.Not sure if stock firmware has that option.
