Is there a new setting to overcome in order to get it higher now?
My adapter is a ALFA awus051nh it is run as wlan1 Ralink RT2870/3070 rt2800usb - [phy1]
The adapter seems pretty good to test with, I thought I would have more problems using an uncommon adapter. I am not sure if the hardware is restricting the txpower, or the drivers will not work well with it yet.
I tried many suggested procedures to increase tx power, but I can only go to 17 or lower.
