@purya97 I had similar issue, it seems Tx power unlock scripts are not currently working with routers having 6ghz band. however, BE routers likeASUS RT-BE88U (is a wifi7 but doesn't have 6ghz) seems to work fine => I was able to increase Tx power from 12 to 26

@oaatiq I'm not adjusting TX-Power at the moment, because I bought an AiMesh setup.

# wl -i eth5 txpwr_target_max
Maximum Tx Power Target (chanspec:0x1003):      15.00  15.
# wl -i eth6 txpwr_target_max
Maximum Tx Power Target (chanspec:0xe06a):      25.00  25.00  25.00  25.00 
# wl -i eth5 txpwr_adj_est
Last adjusted est. power (chanspec:0x1003):     15.00  15.00
# wl -i eth6 txpwr_adj_est
Last adjusted est. power (chanspec:0xe06a):     25.00   0.00   0.00  25.00

These are my default values, what are your default values?

As stated in the README, the router, firmware and hardware may ignore any overrules.

@francoism90 Thanks for your feedback, do you know how to push my RT-BE88U from 26.00 to 31 ?
