And are there any hard numbers on the power of these routers VS using my orinoco? I know theres less loss because its going over cat5 insted of multiple feet of coax.

Turning up the power should only affect the Transmit, the recieve should be not be affected (anyone else care to prove me wrong? Please do). The recieve sensitivity is static as far as I know.
Personal testing shows it's significantly better sensitivity than my Orinoco. One day I might find a way to get some more solid numbers, but my experience shows probobly a 50% greater range in urban environments.
