[TriLUG] OpenWRT and the WRT54G - adj. power?

[Shane O'Donnell]

Check out the "wl" command, especially with the "txpwr" parm.

Be careful though, if you ramp the radio power too high, heat becomes
an issue.  I hear that 40-50 is a good safe range that gives you
better power than stock, the added noise is not significant, and the
heat will still dissipate without fans.

YMMV -
