I've installed two wrt54g2 with dd-wrt with default power value

TX Power 70 (Default: 70, Range: 0 - 251mW)

the docs warn going beyond may overheat and cook

anyone has any experience with increasing power ?

for the reason of getting greater range or more penetration through brick
walls:

is there a real gain in increasing TX power ? what value to try ?
risk of cooking ?
or just leave it as is ?

-------------------------------------

(hmmm, wifi roaming with dd-wrt seems to be as simple as setting two
routers to same ssid/different channels, that was easy, thanks for
suggesting this)
