I haven't studied the LR function in detail, but according to German law the maximum transmission power is limited anyway: 100mW at 2.4GHz and up to 1W at 5GHz (depending on the channel). Alex85 is completely right: it always takes two. Both the access point and the client device must have the transmission power for you to notice a difference (it's no use if you're shouting at your friend on a mountain with a megaphone but he only has his mouth without a booster to answer). For better reception, you can either set up several access points and run them in mesh mode, attach other antennas with higher dBi gain, or simply check which channels the competition is using, choose a free channel (if possible) and hope that the competition doesn't jump in there. Or good old "hardwiring" with LAN.LR doesn't help in Germany anyway because power increase is not legal and even if you don't care about this, the power of the clients doesn't magically increase.
