Yes I do offer paid consultancy when I have the time

[@TKSJa]

Thank you for your donation

Please i wish to have a paid consultancy with you .hit me up please

@@TKSJa please video on wifi hotspot

[@dayronalfaro9461]

Wow man, is good to have you back!!!

[@matej_stepan]

You can also make the signal received on some WiFi client stronger by making the channel width sharper. For 2.4GHz use only 20MHz, for 5GHz I would not go higher than 80MHz

[@visherua]

Thanks, it’s fixed my issue better than method from video

[@hermankoelman1229]

Happy to see a video from you again. Great tip, definitely going to set mine as well.

[@kaustubh6199]

@TKSJa welcome back we missed you

[@davidsondavid6947]

Good to see you back. Well done. Nice tutorial

[@benjaminnganga2]

yeaaa them mikrotik lessons about to get lit again

[@AdrielEvering]

Yes sir welcome back!

[@vumazwesiziba4103]

What I usually do to increase wifi signal strenght is to change frequency Mode to manual tx. (Where the mouse is at 5:07)

[@uyiogankpolor4502]

Welcome back Man. I need to do a dual WAN setup with load balancing and wan bandwidth bonding

[@raffitchakmakjian]

hi there, thanks for this vid, I just started setting up my hAP AC Lite, reading around the Microtik forums, seems like there's a correlation between the Tx rates in the Tx Power area and the antenna gain. Any thoughts on this? I'm brand new to this and just reading up, thanks!

[@Whit3hat]

Thank you for all these videos on your channel helps alot

[@ajmalhanifi7294]

Iam Happy to see your Video Toturials

[@nziokaaustin]

while you are around, kindly do a video on how to create a mesh mikrotik hotspot network. Meanwhile, I just saw a paypal link in your pinned comment, I'ma throw something little for the help you have been over the years.

[@ludgerkreimer1550]

Hi, thanks for that video. How it can be done by CAPsMAN? My AP are managed by CAPsMAN.

[@matej_stepan]

Antenna gain value is ignored while using frequency mode=debug

[@stefanmplayer]

Thanks mate, these video’s are great

[@TheCalibso]

Thanks, I noticed There is improving in communities

[@sergmarinero3879]

It’s work! Fantastic performance!

[@hightech3161]

Would adjusting " tx-power-mode=default " make a impact? On my laptop running debian, I set this to high ...

[@joeylucobtodavia]

Im glad your back. . .

[@decoypeak]

Welcome back!!!

[@dameeniktab]

is this applicable on Mikrotik QRT5?

[@StankoRago]

Hello sir. I was hoping if there is any way to increase wifi signal on new ax devices that has wifi Wave2 interfaces? Thank you in advance.

[@morganleelouw8286]

hi @TKSja i need ur help setting up my mikrotik groove 52hpn if follow a lot off ur video s but cant fig it out the error im getting are wifi paswoord error

[@thearaoeurn7464]

welcome back...

[@karlitobanks]

How maximize wifi signal for TP-link CPE220 ?

[@bhartendulal8645]

HI, Thanks for the video, But I think , After set antenna gain=0 , Range will be increase but speed will be low on wifi, What do you think?

[@TKSJa]

Higher signal strength = Higher possible throughput

[@qfina]

Setting it to 0 made it horrible for me, devices could not connect easily

[@weinosby]

How to setup mikrotik RB951ui as a Access Point only. TIA

[@Nichomachean5]

heh, didn't realize you could do this. on the hAP ax lite you can't do this as the advanced wireless settings aren't there and the antenna gain is already at zero, so if you try to zero it out in the GUI it will lock you to 5dBi gain. ha ha. That said, put that baby at manual transmit at 16dB. Transmits much stronger than leaving it on auto.

[@johanfitzgerald1843]

man you helped me out allot. thanks bro

[@TKSJa]

You are welcome!

[@kardelencanoglu1353]

How can I show signal levels from Mikrotik over ethernet in Android application?

[@mantas420]

Should I change the country, if I am not allowed to lower the antenna gain?

[@TKSJa]

Yes

[@mjducharme]

No, the device will already transmit at the highest power allowed for your country. Decreasing the antenna gain to transmit hotter than regulations allow is illegal.

[@johanfitzgerald1843]

we set up our Internet with a bunc of LHGs for the customers does this work for a LHG connecting to our sectors or where does this apply to?

[@TKSJa]

It should work, the video show how to do it

[@pencuriinshaf8822]

How to make 2.4 ghz stabel to play game, like 5 ghz did that ? Please help me

[@martinsk8088]

1. interface wireless 2. print detail advanced 3. set "wlan1" antenna-gain=!!! you enter the number you want !!! - for example i want 7dbi.

[@martinsk8088]

And you must set up no country set in wireless settings.

[@DKMS_KP]

getting error: " failure: minimal antenna-gain for your country is 3" How to fix it?

[@VIKING1379]

country=no_country_set

[@Reaptechsolutions]

Thank you!! Much better!

[@AllInOne-kj4im]

Thank to Allah, you are alive.

[@RashedKhan-vz2se]

How to do this useing android?

[@TKSJa]

The same way, just open the terminal and type the command

[@nziokaaustin]

download the official Mikrotik app, on the main menu open "new terminal" and you can type in your commands there.

[@AllInOne-kj4im]

Please, I ask you to make 2nd tutorial on login pages. And entering into miktotik from outside network. Thnks

[@mjducharme]

The thing you are leaving out is that this is illegal. The router already is transmitting at the highest power allowed by your country regulations by default. Lowering the antenna gain to raise power means that your router is now transmitting at illegal power levels for your country.

[@TKSJa]

You have a point, but as long as you use the "frequency mode = regulatory domain" it will not exceed the 30dbm limit

[@mjducharme]

@@TKSJa This is not the case. The device uses the antenna gain setting to make sure it is not exceeding the limits. If using regulatory domain with a correct antenna gain, it will transmit with legal power amounts. If you reduce the antenna gain, it will transmit at illegally high power.

[@mloesb]

What you leave out is that this depends on the legislation of wherever you live. For some of it this is legal and it is good to know the options that are there.

[@electriciraq4595]

My country is Iraq but I found it’s wrote ESTI So the minimal antenna gain is 3 How can I fix that ?

[@marygracecerujano5844]

It is disabled on my device. How can I enable it?

How to increase 5ghz signal?

[@martinsk8088]

And you must set up no country set in wireless settings.

[@SoyFilipo]

You should set up a Patreo man

[@wiz4rd1970]

Thanks man 👍

[@aminullahrahmani1587]

I think it's not possible to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal, it is all about the manufacturer

[@Martin-ot7xj]

Hi there, please make a tutorial video about ,how we can create a rule in firewall on microtik that how everyone can access to internet from network to internet but from outside or internet nobody can access to our network ?? Thnx

[@TKSJa]

The default firewall rules does this already

[@Martin-ot7xj]

@@TKSJa how can i see that ??

[@willyvanas]

How can i use this in capsman ? The command will not work then.

[@bryqma]

It has to be set before/off CAPs

How about mikrotik hex I'm from philippines

[@TKSJa]

Hex doesn't have WiFi

[@bashardlaleh2110]

what are the side effects of doing this ? I mean there must be some downside

[@paradox5556]

more power draw i guess

[@qfina]

At short distances to the AP, devices will suffer connection and speed, its like the AP is shouting.

[@paradox5556]

@@qfina doesnt make sense

[@AlexanderNassian]

And if that doesn‘t work, change the region to us3. Germany doesnt allow anything lower than 3 for 2,4 and 6 for 5ghz 🤦‍♂️ It‘s illegal, but dfs and wifi that doesn‘t even go 3m far is just ridiculous.

totally useless there is no interface wireless conmand. there is no print detail advanced command anymore,

Does this method work on mikrotik sxtsq 5 ??
