How to increase Tx-Power on Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 in Debian?
Hello. There is a Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 WiFI adapter that works as a wireless Internet access point. This adapter runs Debian 8 ("Jessie") OS.
My actions:
# iw reg set BZ
# ip link set wlan0 down
# iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30dBm
# ip link set wlan0 up

If my memory serves me, it is forbidden by law to set the Wi-Fi power to more than 20 dBm without receiving frequencies and registering.
For client devices such as a laptop, the power is a priori less than that of a standard TD of 20 dbm. Yes, and the point here is not the power supplied to the antenna, but the gain of the antenna itself, the antenna is a passive device.
