For some reason it appears that this is quite hard to come by, most documentation only talks about the transmission power in dBm which is just less easy to read than mW to me. So here’s a list of the maximum allowed transmission power (EIRP) per country.
Note that the a and b bands means the 802.11/a (5GHz) and 802.11/b (2.4GHz) respectively. While these are not specifically named, this includes 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g and the collections such as 802.11abgn.
Since the ETSI standard many of these have been replaced by a single standard. Here’s a very informative blogpost about the ETSI standard. The ETSI standard is used in the following regions:
- Europe
- Middle East
- Africa
- China
- Indonesia
- Singapore
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- Parts of the Russian Federation
Short overview of the ETSI standard:
– 2.4 GHz: 100 mW (20 dBm)
– 5 GHz channel 36 to 64: 200 mW (23 dBm)
– 5 GHz channel 100 to 140: 1000 mW (30 dBm)
– 5 GHz channel 155 to 171: 4000 mW (36 dBm)

Please note that this depends on your antenna as well so please be that you won’t go over the allowed transmit power for your location.
