At a time when the waves  are controversial, as our record shows, Apple "innovated" the new generation of AirPort Extreme cases increases the transmit power in Wi-Fi In fact, Apple recently changed the boundaries and if the specifications appear identical, there is a big difference in power.

The FCC, which validates the products to be sold on American soil, indicates that 2.4 GHz - the frequency band used by 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n - the power from 130 mW (in 11n) to 260 mW. In 11g, you go from 143 to 307 mW and 286 to 257 (decrease) in 11b. When working in the 5 GHz band, for a higher rate, going from 139 to 392 mW (11n/40 MHz), 164 to 337 mW (11n/20 MHz) and 202 to 322 MHz when using the highly confidential (in Europe) 11a.
