Yes, once you activate the revised UNII rules, it it will lower the EIRP in UNII-3, however just upgrading the firmware won't change anything (until you enter the key) and you can use the key again to get the higher Tx Power back (and disable UNII-1/2)... of course if you lose the link when the power drops, that won't help you... if a link is questionable, I would just try lowering the tx power using test mode to see what happens before you do anything.
