Right, but please keep in mind that stronger TX power doesn't make the
signal "magically" more reliable and higher throughput. Sure it can
help, but if your problem is interference, you're not going to win by
just buying a more powerful NIC.

Have you compiled up athstats and have it available on your AP? What's
it say when you run it?
