The DD-WRT manual suggests that a "safe increase of up to 70 would be suitable for most users." Anything too much above that and you'd be flirting with overheating your router and damaging the life of your router (though I've heard that many people have pushed it up to 100 or above). So go ahead and change your Xmit Power to 70 and click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page.

Tom SweetNOTE: CHECK OUT THE COMMENTS THREAD AT END.\nby Adam Pash\n\nOf all the great DIY projects at this year's Maker Faire, the one project that really caught my eye involved converting a regular old $60 router into a powerful, highly configurable $600 router. The router has an interesting history, but all you really need to know is that the special sauce lies in embedding Linux in your router. I found this project especially attractive because: 1) It's easy, and 2) it's totally free.\n\nSo when I got the chance, I dove into converting my own router. After a relatively simple firmware upgrade, you can boost your wireless signal, prioritize what programs get your precious bandwidth, and do lots of other simple or potentially much more complicated things to improve your computing experience. Today I'm going to walk you through upgrading your router's firmware to the powerful open source DD-WRT firmware.

Mike KossCool! Especially given that the regular firmware for the linksys router is not so hot. I'm using an older version, as it is generally more stable (newest versions crash at my house every day) - the older version seems to crash the DHCP server once per m

Works very well.
The QOS and Wifi advanced are my favorite enhancements
