wasted something like 20 hours trying to learn all about this and fucking around trying to make a wifi repeater. Made it with highest wifi strength options and my wifi now ranges around 100 meters from my house

according to my countrys law it is illegal but meh, no agency will try to triangulate my house just to shut down my wifi cuz I have a little stronger wifi that goes 100 meters and nobody will nark unless they know some shit about tech

Fixed that for you. Do I need to mention that most router manufactuers such as cisco are already pwned by the GCHQ/CIA/huwiee? Do I even need to go over the backdoors in just about every router since 2005? Whether hardware, software, or incompetence via bugs there is a backdoor of some sort in every single last one unless you install something like openwrt, dd-wrt, and or gentoo. Actually gentoo would be better because libressl.

You won't cause problems to others if if you know what you're doing. The limits are for unlicensed use; in many countries it's actually possible to acquire a legally license to use much higher power on the same frequencies.

I have a self-built OpenWRT router using a high power wifi card with a high-gain directional antenna. The EIRP is 250x the unlicensed maximum in my jurisdiction. I use it to jack in to wifi networks approx 500 meters away. This isn't bothering my neighbors because:

1.) Its highly directional, mounted high up and pointing out across open fields.

2.) Wifi standards incorporate algorithms that down-modulate the power to the minimum necessary anyway. (My kernel logs typically show it cutting back from 30 dBm to 17 dBm.)

>>958118

And of course, if you use a directional antenna, it totally fucks up triangulation.

>>958227

Unlicensed cantennas break the law too. The regulations don't limit transmission power but EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), which is the performance of the system in comparison to a point source radiating equally in all directions. It's the combination of radio, cabling and antenna that counts.

>Something I didn't say.

They can't use triangulation to locate non-isotropic sources.

Also, in many cases directional antennas will appear to be within normal power on the side and rear lobes; they would have to be standing in direct-line of sight of the main beam, and within a limited distance, to recognise that the EIRP actually exceeded limits.

One has to ask, what would bring investigators out in the first place? The idea that they do random patrols sampling wifi frequencies is a bit far-fetched - they don't have the resources for that. An investigation would be a response to a complaint, so the golden rule is to know what you're doing and be considerate of neighbors. For example, if you live in an apartment block, with just a few meters of air and a party wall between your wifi kit and your neighbors, any increase in isotropically radiated power should be out of the question, but if you live in a farmhouse in the middle of acres of land, there would be plenty of scope to increase it without having an excessively powerful signal escape the borders of your land.

I work in networking. The real reason for those laws is so that companies like mine don't tweak the radio and then dominate the segment, leading to millions of radios exceeding limits and everything breaking. Scattered freetards doing it doesn't matter and usually no one cares although some businesses do police their own turf when they notice something causing disruptions and will have their lawyers attempt to destroy your life. Laws designed to limit commercial abuse are comically destructive when an individual trips them, so be careful.
