Update: 14-6-2015 Procedure voor de RT-N66U
REGIO UNLOCK (ALLE KANALEN) EN VERHOGEN ZENDVERMOGEN VAN 35mW NAAR 200mW
Het is dus hierna niet meer nodig de speciale Merlin Fork versie te gebruiken voor meer zendvermogen. Dit zal nu gewoon met de huidige Merlin en stock Asus firmware werken.
Dank aan @Luke-san voor het testen op de RT-N66U

Door het veranderen van de regio in de CFE (EU naar #a) krijg je dus ook de beschikking over niet standaard Wifi kanalen, dus staat je kanaal keuze in je router op auto dan is het dus mogelijk dat je router een kanaal selecteert welke je client device (notebook, telefoon, tablet etc etc ) niet herkent. Selecteer dus zelf het optimale kanaal in de GUI
Telnet aanvinken in de configuratie van de router, en codes invoeren met putty (

This is just for those who are INTERESTED to test out 500mw transmit power on their RT-N66U, you may enter commands via GUI at 192.168.1.1 > Tools > CMD or via telnet:
### To CHECK your current region, each line entered will result in the answer.
nvram get pci/1/1/ccode
nvram get pci/2/1/ccode
nvram get wl0_country_code
nvram get wl1_country_code
nvram get regulation_domain
nvram get regulation_domain_5G
### To ALTER to a new region such as US(500mw), or GB(200mw), enter or change the last 2 letters accordingly to each line. Its a good idea to CHECK your current region after each command entered.
nvram set pci/1/1/ccode=US
nvram set pci/2/1/ccode=US
nvram set wl0_country_code=US
nvram set wl1_country_code=US
nvram set regulation_domain=US
nvram set regulation_domain_5G=US
### To CHECK your current transmit power, each line entered will result in answer.
nvram get wl_TxPower
nvram get wl0_TxPower
nvram get wl1_TxPower
### To ALTER to a new transmit power such as 500mw(US) or 200mw(GB), enter or change the last 3 digits accordingly to each line. Its a good idea to CHECK your current transmit power after each command entered.
nvram set wl_TxPower=500
nvram set wl0_TxPower=500
nvram set wl1_TxPower=500
nvram commit
After nvram commit command is entered, you may additionally VERIFY values at the GUI > Wireless > Professional > Tx power adjustment. Take note your router temperature MAY rise by about 2 to 3°C and maintain. I have experienced only a 5% average strength increase from 200mw to 500mw. FYI, firmware using is by Merlin 3.0.0.4.372.30_3. Signal strength check using WiFi Explorer 1.5.1.
Ik zou eerst voor de versterking met antennes gaan
