   I suspect that's exactly what it would do... And maybe we finally have a   
   legitimate reason for the 3dbm setting in the config file.

   Well, there's more to it than just plugging it in and instantly   
   extending the range.   
      
   For one, you need to configure it.  LAN settings.. WAN settings.. You're   
   gonna need to disable AIRMax, which is on by default.  You need to set   
   your WPA2 password/phrase and you, most certainly, need to set an SSID.   
      
   And you really, really, should adjust the transmit power to an   
   appropriate level so one isn't another RF asshole blasting noise far   
   beyond what is needed.  If you want better WiFi and you live in a tract   
   home, then setting the transmit power to 28dbm is a dick move.   
      
   If you live in the middle of Montana and there's not another house for   
   10 miles, and you'd like max coverage, then maybe 28dbm is appropriate.   
      
   Failing to do the above with a 2.4GHz device should be a capital crime.   
    there's only 3 non-overlapping (at 20MHz) channels.. Your neighbor   
   picking up your signal at full bars means you've just fucked him out of   
   being able to use one of those three.  Three neighbors can make wifi   
   miserable for all involved.
