Default using a microwave tester to measuer WiFi EIRP

See if you can get your money back. I had the same idea a few years
ago and purchased a Safeea Inc MD-2000 tester:


I bought it about 10 years ago. I doubt they would do any thing now.

The sensitivity sucks. I'm only able to get an indication when it's a
few cm from the antenna of my access point. Worse, the indication
varies radically from zilch to tilt (9.9mw/cm^2).



Mine also read close up, but was relatively stable. I was downloading a large
file at the time, so there was plenty of traffic.



Topic Drift: Think your microwave oven is well shielded? Put your
2.4GHz cordless phone handset inside the microwave oven. Close the
door. Hit the "page" button on the phone base and see if the phone
rings. It probably will. So much for shielding.


Same here, except mine are 1.8gHz.
