It is hard to compare dBm and mW. Here is some help: 30dBm is exactly 1000mW or 1 full Watt, 20dBm is exactly 100mW, 17dBm is about 50mW, 15dBm is about 32mW.

Every 6dBm distance effectively doubles.

dBms are lost are the following rate:

:glass or window 2dBm

:Drywall Wood wall 3dBm

:cinder block or concrete wall 4dBm

:Metal door in brick wall 12dBm

:1/2 inch chain link or mesh fence total block

dBm <-> mw calculator can be found [here]:

Antennas increase dBm by increasing receive sensitivity which in turn increase range.
