How would i do that? (they're internals btw)

And where would the fun be in not modding it?

You could do both =D

Go to Wireless - Advanced Settings, there you could change the TX Power.

Think DD WRT would be safe to run on a 1.1 revision of the WRT300N? I looked into it when I first bought the router. Some places said that there was a good chance it would damage the router. I'm kinda over it though, the coverage sucks on it.

It is perfectly fine to run DD-WRT on the WRT300N, but you must flash the mini version then flash the standard or mega version.

Ohs, I love DD-WRT on my WRT54GS v1.1. Way better than the linksys firmware

Thanks for the info. I added it to the list of links in my original post.

Now, about transmit power. TX power is kind of a complicated thing. You need adequate power to reach far enough, obviously, but with more power comes more noise. The trick is to find a TX power that hits the sweet spot between signal and noise (best SNR.) With my setup, this is around 90mW. Yours will almost certainly be different, so mess around with it a bit to find that good balance.

Should be just fine. I've heard of plenty of people doing it without issues, there is a trick to it though, just research thoroughly.

I agree, but I haven't had the time to tweak mine, so I just leave it at the firmware default, 70 mw.

I added a link to an SD/MMC card mod for the WRT54GL in my original post. I'm curious, has anyone here attempted this? I've got a spare SD card just lying around and I'm thinking about giving it a try.
