does the power of a wireless bridge matter or is just the router?

[boomhower]

I had a Netgear Bridge that worked OK, but it died. Replaced it with a Buffalo 300N router set to bridge mode and it's distungly slow(150/kbps). Thinking about ordering a WNDR3700 or WRT610N and flashing dd-wrt and setting it bridge mode. But how much does the power of the bridge matter or it is mostly on the router(which is a E4200). Can a more powerful bridge help the situation? I am only trying to go about 70 feet but this is driving me insane

I'm trying to connect a media streamer and a PS3 to the router.

It's not the power that matters, it's receive sensitivity. Quality radios = quality.

Read the sticky on antenna position, there is no reason you can't achieve what you want unless there is major interference.
