MT3000 (Beryl AX) Maximum transmit power stuck at 100mW/20dBm

Routers
22

my bad, actually its required to change the txpower in the wireless file.

example

config wifi-device 'mt798112'
option type 'mtk'
option band '5g'
option disabled '0'
option legacy_rates '0'
option hwmode '11a'
option htmode 'HE160'
option require_mode 'ac'
option random_bssid '1'
option channel 'auto'
option country 'US'
option txpower '251'

after save reboot, then you should see the current power shows 24dBm, after it changed and do not go and use the dropdown list TX power, otherwise it will back to default.

Awesome, thank you.

I wonder why these max power levels aren't included in the official firmware - surely it makes sense for them to be included?

24

Can you confirm that the power output is higher? Sometimes you can even select 30dBm but the device can't handle it. So is your Wi-Fi range better now?

25

My range is definitely better using 22 dBm (158 mW) on 2.4GHz and 26 dBm (398 mW) on 5GHz using 4.6.6-op24.

26

Great to hear solve your porblem(hehe). Not sure why they limited the power lever of these, maybe they worry over power tx will cause some issue.

27

Mostly because of laws.

Power transmission is heavy regulated.

28

yes, i believe this is one of the reasons.

29

Would there be issues using a beryl as a home router due to reduce range from the 100mw transit power?

30

You can try the op24 firmware, it seems the power is higher, but it has other speed issues

31

I will try the op24 firmware. May I know what are the other speed issues with this firmware?

32

Different countries have different regulations...

2.4GHz is bad for some devices, you'll get 50% of the top speed. It seems a MT driver issue, it does no happens on the closed source firmware
