Hello! For the past week I have been attempting to amplify my TX Power to 27-30dBi without success.

The only thing I see working for people, is the CRDA hack. Here are the instructions I followed:

Trying to keep the post clean, so click me to be linked to a pastebin with the instructions.


I get all the to the final part where you go to the CRDA file and type:

sudo make

sudo make install

When I run sudo make (or install for that matter) I get this error.

/bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
/bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
/bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
/bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
Makefile:76: ***Cannot find development files for any supported version of libnl. Stop.

I followed the instructions in the beginning to install libnl-dev. Honestly, I have been working so hard at trying to figure this out, my brain is fried.

If it matters, I'm trying to figure this out so I can fix my issues with this post. I cant get the false AP to popup, which I think (and hope?) is due to the Alfa AP not overpowering the normal AP.

Thanks for your help, if my fried brain missed info, just ask. Thanks.
