1w vs 4w 802.11 performance?

Hello All,

Currently I am using a 1 watt bridge with a 14 dbi panel antenna. During heavy rainstorms my connection becomes really spotty. I was wondering if I were to get a 4 watt amplifier if it would really help that much? It looks like my power would only go up by 6 db max. (from 44 to 50)



Thanks,


Bob
