Txpower on Startup

[koklimabc]

As quoted question on "#273",

i did understand the rtl8812au settings is based under "/sys/module/88xxau/parameters/rtw_tx_pwr_idx_override, contents is '20' but when i check with "iw dev" for "wlan0" , is only shown with 18 dbm only :(, Why?

What is the more effective way to change the tx power during runtime on startup?

Use rtw_tx_pwr_idx_override. It overrides any other settings. Wifi has automatic power control in normal mode, but it is not suitable for wfb-ng links

pardon, It shld set to other place than "/sys/module/88xxau/parameters/rtw_tx_pwr_idx_override"? Where is it :)?

[svpcom]

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/wfb.conf 
# blacklist stock module
blacklist 88XXau
blacklist 8812au
# maximize output power
options 88XXau_wfb rtw_tx_pwr_idx_override=30

FYI, i'd done everything on '/etc/modprobe.d/wfb.conf' based inside SSC338Q, but not luck :(, pls help

Don't see txpower via iw - it will show invalid values if you override it via module parameter

[koklimabc]

ok then i will change the txpower at under both "/etc/modprobe.d/wfb.conf" and "/etc/wfb.conf", btw tq :)
