never surprises me that most routers default to "full beans" ... but he is kinda wrong as well...
just because the wifi router is sending at 100mW and his phone only uses 20mW is not everything.... beleive me... 20mW is good enough to go at least 1/2 a mile with decent antennas.
there are so many reasons as to why a phone/device would be disconnecting from the AP and so forth. the main cause of stuff like this is interference from other routers/devices etc. if you sit and watch the video, he was like... "i forgot to turn on the second router/AP".... this was the reason why his phone kept disconnecting lol.
