As is stated in the links thiggins posted:

Wireless communication works in two directions, there is no use having your access point transmit with higher power when your client (computer, pad or whatever) still transmits with the same (low) power.
It will actually depends if the client is in range already. Remember much of the throughput you get from a wireless client is about half or more of the connection rate. The stronger signal a given client receives, the higher the connection rate. Let's say if a client @ 65% reception, it will connect at a lower rate, if ramping the station's power improves the reception to 100% signal strength the client will have a better connection rate. In this scenario, increasing a power will help.
