look at the circuit board photos for the 4r7 variable resistor
in the lower right side,it could be a power adjustment..
anyone know or have a diagram? I would get one if it could do
better than the rated 25mw

It's unlikely that you'll get much over 25mw.
Signigicant power boosts need the circuitry to be designed
for it.
You might get 40mw, but this will only increase range by a
small fraction.

In most cases the device is capable of more,the output chipsets do what
they are told by the firmware the WAP11 is a dumbed down example..
40mw would be a 60% increase in power and only be a small increase
in isotropic terms,but more significant in the real world.

60% would however only be a 25% range increase though.
(at best, assuming that the reciever is sensitive enough)

There is a difference between limits in firmware that reduce the output
to below what the radio is designed to do at maximum, and increasing
the output of the radio beyond what it's designed for.

NOT an adjustment, it's a torrid coil....

25% with what as the radiator?

TOROID coils are not used in 2.4ghz rf stages,guess again

Any in the far field.
Range is proportional to the square root of power, with given antennas.

Look at the chips surrounding it. Looks like it could be part of a
switcher supply for a negative voltage.

Certainly NOT and adjustment.
