For all users who want to make the transmission power of the Asus wl-500g more powerfull but don't no if they should or how to use the option "Radio Power" in the wireless setting menu.
The standard setting "19" can't be nothing else than "dBm value" (i think).
Here is a link to a website with worldwide regulations and a online "dBm to mW" calculator.

I've set it to "20" dBm what is the same as 100 mW. The maximum alowed in Europe. And it works fine.
I don't think it is wise to make it run 84 dBm mentioned somewhere else in this forum.
Good luck,
