How can you reduce router wireless signal strength?
How can you reduce wireless router signal strength? If so, what routers allow you to reduce wifi signal strength? How?
Some routers have a radio transmit power setting. The R7000 has such as a setting. Other Netgear models may also have it.
Another option is to load 3rd party firmware, such as DD-WRT, Tomato and others. They should all have radio power settings. Not all routers support 3rd party firmware. Check the respective firmware websites for details about supported models.
