Interesting idea. But I am okay both wireless routers are 1,200 range coverage. I use another one running DD-wRT for 802.11G only. That one covers the entire house. The 802.11N does too just can't reach the basement. mW would need to be unlocked. But I am good. Thanks for sharing the link.

bigger better faster more. . .

on my home unit i am running tomato on a wrt54g. it has broadcast power control as well. even though direct line of site is through a safe and the plumbing chase for the building I can connect from my detached garage about 150ft from the unit.

more power is a good thing when you have a clear channel.

I place the main DHCP-AP north side of the house and the secondary AP on the east side near a window. This method works very well. Single strength for both wireless routers is about the same. They are not using tomato or dd-wrt on Belkin N Plus. Prior wireless router with dlink DIR-655 firmware killed me using that router ever again. Belkin N Plus been pretty stable in 802.11N only since installing the first one back in 2008 then a second one 2009 to handle the rest of the house. I only use the Buffalo HP-G54 with DD-WRT for 802.11G. That doesn't show-up in IPV6 under network discovery in Windows 7 environment, but bridging it seems to be okay. My main concern is to have everything from wired print servers (2x dlink) and wireless all-in-one operational and have wired clients able to access all 3 printers..

I've ran some test on everything I own here outside and into the woods. Like you with your 150 radius very good coverage outside. I do like to enjoy the outdoors so using a wireless laptop or netbook an etc works with a great signal.
