We have been testing Orinoco (gold and silver) cards with 100mW, 200mW
Mikrotik and 250 mw Teletronics cards on our Turbocell POP set to AP
plus mode (Karlnet NDIS drivers, among their other end-user unfriendly
problems, do not work with Prism chipsets).
We have seen similar SNR increases between 100mW and 200-250mW when
using on CPE end. We've wondered about the huge SNR difference also.

Subject: [Karlnet] 200mw card experience
I was setting up a 10 mile link this week and tonight I was trying to
make it work. Antenna alignment has been difficult because of the heavy
humidity and low visibility... so my link is marginal.
Using the Karlnet link test utility I found the following on the remote
end of this link:
Orinoco Silver card: No connection
100mw Tony card: 1db SNR
200mw Mikrotik card: 20db SNR
The difference between the 100mw and 200mw cards should be 3db. I can
not explain my results. All other variables were the same.
