You don't. The most likely result is fire and smoke. Most routers
include a voltage regulator that will try absorb any over voltage on
the DC input line. When it exceeds some voltage or dissipation level,
the regulator will blow up. A wireless router is not a CB radio. I
suggest you tinker with the antennas instead. The results tend to be
less destructive and create less e-waste scrap.

It can't be done.

From what I know, you need to fiddle with the transmission power through
the routers configuration interface; however, chances are that the stock
firmware doesn't allow the user to modify it, due to the risk of frying
the router.

If you are using a Linksys WRT54G(S), then you could get a third-party
firmware which exposes that functionality.
