Well then maybe it's using 100mW rather than 10mW :-)
Seriously power != range. I find mine works best with 10mW. I can
be anywhere in the house and the connection is perfect. It probably
helps a little with power consumption too.
With radio never assume that the greatest power will give the greatest
working range.

Hi,
the power is set to 100mW and will be used for new connections, too
(that's what advanced setting shows). I also tried flashing all the
software images available, they showed the same result.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi, as far as I know you can choose 10mW or 100mW when setting up
and
storing a wireless connection (in advanced preferences). What
applies
for a new connection (not a stored one)?
Maybe it's using 10mW instead of 100mW. Could it be a software bug
then, instead of hardware? I'm just guessing...
