Also did Asus do away with the TX power adjustment slider?

Yes they did some time ago. It's now fixed at what ever they have it capped at.

Also did Asus do away with the TX power adjustment slider?

Yes, for US models. For EU models it is still there.

The FCC made them do it.

Well the range has significantly dropped. Months ago where I had signal on my patio there is no signal at all now.

Have you tried changing the antenna positions? I used a wifi analyzer and moved them around a bit to extend the range along with ensuring that nothing was placed around it that might reflect the signal.

Yes I put all antennas at a 45 degree angle and did see a range increase. The way I have my room set up is with the tv on a 2 foot high entertainment center with the router to the left front of the tv about 6 inches away. The tv may be cutting off some range.

Its too close to the tv which is most definitely interfering with your signal.
