Re: Reaching the end of the IPS of my LAN [SOLVED]

Mkx is almost correct. The subnet containing 192.168.1.1/23 would actually be 192.168.0.0/23 so the usable range is 192.168.0.1-192.168.1.254

Those rules are still AND gated. Traffic will only pass to port 3799 from either 1812 or 1813. All other packets will be dropped. The rules here are functionally the same as what was suggested in post #3, but in 3 lines rather than 2.

No change to your tx power will ever affect the signal you receive from the client device, unless the client is adaptive, in which case increasing your tx will get you a lower rx.
