<div>Leam:</div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to throw out two recommended features that our 6 year old ASUS RT-N66W offers. The ability to schedule the WiFi (ours is set to go off at 11 pm and on at 7 am) plus the ability to set output power level (we keep it at level 3 of 4 as it's only used for cellphones -- our 3 workstations are all wired).</div><div><br></div><div>When we leave town, we turn off the scheduler and raise the power level to high, for the use of a couple of WiFi security cameras.</div><div><br></div><div>My engineering background and boatloads of studies lead me to minimize exposure to radio waves. Since we learned that 5G had come to our neighborhood last year, we sleep inside of a shielding canopy.</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div><div><br></div><div>On Fri, 2024-12-27 at 20:46 -0600, Leam Hall via Ale wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>Currently using a 3 year old ASUS RT-ACRH18 with two wired and 4-6 wireless clients, usually low load.
