Antennas on Tp-Link WR841ND

[vectorsigma]

Hi pals,

My situation is the following:

I have a Tp-Link WR841ND with 2 detachable antennas and the last version of gargoyle (v. 1.5.10). The antennas are omnidirectional 8 db, with a connection cable of 3 meters.

It´s configurated as client bridge.

When I use the command

Code: Select all

iw list |grep -i antenna

I recive the answer

Code: Select all

	Available Antennas: TX 0x3 RX 0x3
	Configured Antennas: TX 0x3 RX 0x3
Success

So, my doubts are:
only 1 antennsa is working at time?

There´s a way to change witch antenna is actually working?

Thanks to all!

You could be using only 1 antenna because power savings is enabled.

look for rxantenna, txantenna & diversity here:

Thanks BashfulBladder,

I read the page you passed me: I can see the option

Code: Select all

txantenna

and

Code: Select all

rxantenna

, but it´s seem is not what I need.

How could I possibily disable power savings?

Thanks again!

I found this using The Google with "linux wireless power savings" 1st link:

Thanks a lot!

I tried

Code: Select all

iw wlan0 set power_save off

and the answer was

Code: Select all

command failed: Operation not supported (-122)
Success

Then I write

Code: Select all

iw wlan0 get power_save

and I get

Code: Select all

Power save: on
Success

I can´t find anything related to this error on google.

thanks in advance,

ale
