TP-Link TL-WN551G W-LAN

Hey Guys,

maybe someone can help me out....

I have a wn551G and it's working fine under opensuse and ubuntu. I am not very skilled in linux but i like it very much :-)

So, with iwconfig it says "Tx-Power=0 dBm" i've seen other devices working finde, and none of them had 0 dBm.

Any ideas?

Your help is much appreciated!

Hey Mojo,

thankx for your answer! Here you are:

Linux secureweb 2.6.37-slitaz #2 SMP Sat May 21 19:25:28 CEST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any

          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm

          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off

          Power Management:off

I think i tried desperate measures by setting up a value for the TX-Power :-)

But i noticed a very strange thing: I find wireless LANs in the neighbourhood, but not mine (and that is only 2,5 m away from me). And if i use another Linux Distro like OpenSuse or Ubuntu i have nearly a full signal for my router.... It looks like with slitaz my wlan-card has less power....

By the way, how can i set another password for the slitaz panel?

Thank you in advance!
