      Does anyone know what units this is in? Is it dBm, mW, %? I am having lots of issues with my pfSense crashing (and/or box overheating and restarting, I think, I know it restarts itself I've assumed it's an overheating problem) ever since I switched to using a wireless USB for my primary wireless instead of just an alternate guest network. I was curious if it was because I just left the default of 99 in the transmit power section.

      Does anyone know if there are any USB N wireless adapters that are compatible with pfSense 2.1??

      Thanks!

        Generally (or possibly always?) this setting does nothing at its default value of 99.  The system rejects values that are higher than a set value (determined by the driver) and 99 is way over that in the cases I've seen.
