First of all, you MUST read wl500g.info forum.
Broadcom distribute WiFi driver in binary blobs, so we(and most developers who
can't sign NDA with Broadcom) hasn't access to sources at all. DD-WRT team has
access to WiFi driver sources.
P.S. I hope, new Broadcom SDK 5.60.127 will fix that, but I can't guarantee.

there's no strict txpwr-rssi dependencies.
do not check rssi NEAR router.
also, try to play with wl txpwr1 and wl pwr_percent

I try search, but nothing about my problem.

>do not check rssi NEAR router.
Of course I told easier, actually did detailed tests.
>also, try to play with wl txpwr1 and wl pwr_percent
wl pwr_percent
: 100
wl pwr_percent 110
wl: Not In Range
About wl txpwr1 I wrote before.

RT-N16 1.9.2.7-rtn-r3350M
1m distance
RSSI mesurements by inSSIDer 2.0.7.0126
1. TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off
pwr_percent 100
RSSI -35db
2. TxPower is 0 qdbm, 0.0 dbm, 1 mW Override is Off
pwr_percent 100
RSSI -49db
3. TxPower is 0 qdbm, 0.0 dbm, 1 mW Override is Off
pwr_percent 1
RSSI -50db
4. TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off
pwr_percent 1
RSSI -55db
5. TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off
pwr_percent 100
RSSI -30db
So, guess, it works.

There is no info - Broadcom don't disclose such info publicity. All we have -

>pwr_percent
Yes, I tested it's work, but only for decrease radio power.
I can set txpwr and txpwr1 when set Bandwidth to 20MHz (was 40MHz). pwr_percent
set 100. But real power was not higher. I think because of limits. I try
disable regulatory and other limitations, but it's not work:
wl txpwr1
>TxPower is 80 qdbm, 20.0 dbm, 100 mW Override is Off
wl txpwr1 20 -o
>TxPower is 80 qdbm, 20.0 dbm, 100 mW Override is Off
"Override is Off" - need "Override is On"
Also commands not support: txpwrlimit, tssi, powerindex, curpower, txinstpwr.

Once again - we have to use Broadcom SDK "AS IS" in binary blobs. We can't
rebuild, change options, etc.
So, information, you discovered, can't be used to improve situation.

Have you info that their supports not STA-only, not x86-only configurations? In
past, public support was for
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php only.
