How to change the signal strength on antennas from mikrotik?

Question

Computer networks

I use mikrotik's groove antennas to connect two computers. The question is how to change their signal strength (I am asked to do the maximum). And the main thing that worries is whether it is dangerous for health if it works to the maximum and is somewhere nearby?

Answer 1

In the settings, the "signal strength" parameter. In the Russian Federation it is allowed to set up to 100 dBm. But you can do more if you really want to.

Answer 2

It is not dangerous for health. Mobile phones at the ear during a conversation bombard more. The main thing is not to hold on to this antenna and not to shove it anywhere during operation. On RouterOS, you won't be able to get past the maximum power, unless you find some custom firmware (which is unlikely). You can try other antennas or homemade radio amateurs) On Ali, by the way, a lot of amplifiers are sold, which, by the way, work!)

Answer 3

And the main thing that worries is whether it is dangerous for health if it works to the maximum and is somewhere nearby?

There was once an article in honey. magazine, on the topic of the influence of RF radiation on the human brain, nothing good, of course, but for the average person it is not dangerous;)
If you are interested in measuring power, then this is done with devices. To obtain maximum values, antennas are also selected in pairs, because the parameters of the antennas float and each instance has slightly different resonant frequencies.
In short, no one is so steamed up, but you have already been told how to wind up the relics in Mikrotik.
Just keep in mind that:
1. Thoughtlessly twisted power will interfere with your own receiver and the communication quality will drop.
2. Use of output power over 100mW requires a license.

Answer 4

If you have a bridge, then do not forget to set the same power for the second device. Otherwise, there will be a significant deterioration in the signal, because. a device with a stronger signal will light up a device with a low one.
Why, if not a secret? If you want to achieve an increase in throughput, then power should be played last, and you should start with Channel Width.
