So after all these years of being a wifi user, I learned something new today. It seems that transmission strength of wifi adapters is governed differently depending on which country you are in. No shit, who would of thunk that?
In windows just changing the region to Bolivia improved txpower from 20dB to 33dB. In linux I had to compile a modified driver and replace the stock driver, then I could set the CRDA region to Bolivia, which in turn allowed me to increase txpower from 20 to 33dB. (although the linux driver seems flaky (gets stuck at low bitrates), rtl8192ce)
So, now I have a much better wifi connection. For the first time ever my wifi adapter is able to max out my internet bandwidth.
YAY!!
