Thanks! 13 dBm is less than half the power than my current setting (which itself is a tentth of the power I tried before). I just switched it, we'll see if there's any imrpovement! OpenWrt allows you to switch output power from 0 dBm (1 mW) up to 27 dBm (501 mW)... possibly to your own detriment. :) My router is in a basement directly beside concrete wall and floor, so I've always wondered how much distortion may be caused by that. I've tried adjusting the angle/direction of the antennas but with no noticeable difference in results.
