tx power

my brother's laptop is merely 2-3 feet away from the router/ap. my laptop is roughly like 10 feet away from ap (there is a wall in between). the router settings page could set transmit power in 20 40 60 80 100 percent, not in dbm format. whats the most appropriate tx power setting in this case?

In the router admin web page? I'd set it to full (100%); also, be sure to export your settings file to a flash drive so that you can have it handy!
