More power for Realtek Chipset based WLAN Adapter (USB/PCI)

With this instruction you can on all Realtek chipset based WLAN Cards (Longhine and many more) set the TX output power from 50mW (10dBm) default to more than 200mW (>23dBm).
12 dBm is maximum on some routers for example FritzBox. Values over 12 work fine with TP-Link, D-Link, Linksys using dd-wrt firmware.

1. Install the latest driver from realtek.com.tw and the Realtek USB Wireless Lan utility for your Network Adapter.

2. Open in Program Files under Realtek the ini file with notepad for example for RTL 8192 SU the filename is 8192SU.ini

3. Set the parameters under [UI Config] from 0 to 1 to enable for example:

RT_SET_ENABLE="1"
AdvancedPage_SHOW="1"
CCXRM_SHOW="1"
CCXTxPower_SHOW="1"  ;temp adjust Tx Output Power max. 12...23
CCXSetPage_SHOW="1"
TurboMode_SHOW="1"
WirelessMode_SHOW="1"
PREAMBLE_SHOW="1"   ;Short Preamble option improves throughput performance.
Channel_Plan_SHOW="1"  ;See list below
DATA_RATE_SHOW="1"
Throughput_SHOW="1"

The Channel Plan list is:
FCC (USA): 1-11
ETSI (Europe): 1-13
SPAIN: 10-11
FRANCE: 10-13
MKK (Japan): 14
MKK1(Japan): 1-14
TELEC: 1-14

4. To boost the TX Power change it as shown in the screenshot after you have saved the ini file and started the RtWLan.exe Utility.

Now you should be able to have nearly twice the range as before.

As by nearly all Password recovery tools (a few have exceptions), some Antivirus software products with a not so intelligent scan engine detect a Trojan.
See "False Positive" by Nirsoft.

Should your AV also detect the program as 'false positive' by a faulty scan engine or signature updates, submit it to the AV False Positive Websites for manual analysis to make your AV more accurate.

We analysed the software and there is no online activity as by Trojans.
The component UpdateChecker.exe which is already separate from the program exe, check on user request if program updates are available.

To join this contest write a comment include the AV program which you use and tell us about your experience with product support by false positive detection (response time for manual analyses requests, time till a false positive was solved with anti-virus definition updates).
It will be also great if you share with us what you do to make today's AV and security software better (member in AV and security related forum/communities/joining Beta tests, unpacking - manual analysis...)

6 Licenses we GiveAway to the best comments related to password recovery and security.
We will announce the winners this weekend.

WhoCrashed Professional review and 10 Licenses to GiveAway

Every computer user experience BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Typical user usually press and hold the power button and start it again. In the worst case, your computer keeps on restarting and you didn't start your task because of this failure. In the long run, you find it frustrating, thinking about what the cause of this problem.

Blue Screen of Death is a name gave by Microsoft if you see blue background screen with a technical error code. It saves its data in what we call "Dump Files" for technical diagnostic or debugging. In most cases, this BSOD is caused by a third party drivers or faulty software. Most probably, advanced user or I.T. specialist knows what to do, but how about the typical user experiencing this kind of situation?

I'm not a programmer to deal with this debugging task, but WhoCrashed gives me an ease way to troubleshoot my PC. It analyze the "Dump files" and shows an explanation on what happened in the PC when the failure occurs. I find it very useful because it trace the faulty drivers on the system. WhoCrashed underlined the drivers that cause the failure and the error name. You can click on it and launch your browser to search on Google for the solutions or troubleshooting guidelines.

What I do is simply launch the program, click on "Analyze" and WhoCrashed shows understandable in detail on what the failure is based on. This gives me an idea for a troubleshooting. Usually, updating the affected driver will solve the problem, or I need to uninstall the program because it conflicting to other software, or search for the internet to find the solution for the problem.
