nowere is written is it dangerous to put more tx power ,, what will happen if i set it to 50 ... i read the tx section and i went nowhere ... this is why i ask for help here ,why is so dufficult to give simple answer like :
max you can set it to is 50 ,,dont go any further it is dangerous ,, I dont understand what is written there but i ask here how i can have better signal ,will someone help here ,,i am tired of going here and there to read text that i dont understand well and then do ome harm on my router ... i suppose this forum is for getting help not to send people to read half or one boook to get a simple answer ...

It is very difficult to say because there is various chips in different routers. Same model of router has many versions(v1, v2...). Read this http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices and find out what is max Tx power for your router. I think that devs puted some limitation for Tx. You can put 35dBm in GUI but it will not go above you chip limitation. I am not sure, so if you want to risk it is your responsibility...

increasing Tx power will increase noise... If you use it in a house higher is not allwayz better... remember that your clients (such as iphones, android, laptops) has Tx+antenna gain lower than 20dBm. but long range links are something else...
