Atheros 9 wifi, weak AP signal

Hello,
my wireless card is working, but when I create an AP, the signal is very weak, and I get frequent disconnects even when I’m very close to my laptop. I am using ath9k drivers, and for AP I use hotsapd with configured WPA2 network.
I tried to run a,b and g norm (n is not supported, a has failed), but without any difference.
My channel is not overlapping with another one…
Do you have any advices how to get my signal strength fixed?

Thank you for your help

You need to post this request on the linux-wireless mailing list
(linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org). When you do, include the output of iwconfig
for that device and whatever wireless info is in the dmesg output.

You should also check that your antenna leads are connected and that you have
the correct regulatory domain is set. I think ath9k devices have this built in,
but it could be wrong.
