wow - if that info from pea was true it might open up possibilities. I could see if the CE and non CE version have different values??
"I have found a way to increase the power. Plug your P3 to a computer via the USB connector, wait for it to be recognized. You will see a new device in the windows device manager "generic usb communications port". Right click that, select "properties" and tick the box "allow console acess via localhost". Then use putty or a similar terminal emulator and connect via RSH to "127.0.0.1" using username "root". Password is "0090034". You are then logged in the bird.
Change directory to /etc/config/wireless, and edit the file "lbridge.cfg" using vi. Look for the setting "txpower". Depending on if your model is CE or FCC, it will be either 5 or 9. You can change this to a maximum of 15. Not sure how that will affect temperatures of the wireless unit.. but I've tried it with a value of 12 and got a huge increase in range. Edit the setting, save the file, then power-cycle the unit.
Let me know how far you guys can get with this."
