PS : please Karel don't shoot ! I did search :-)
Tools>Control Panel>Connectivity>Connections (the button at the bottom)
Choose a WLAN connection (with the Globe-and-antenna icon)>Edit>Next(don't change anything, just hit "next"!) >Next>Advanced>"Other" tab
Change WLAN transmission power to 10mW
You can hit "Cancel" or "Finish" at the end, either way the power is changed.

And, totally counter-intuitive, this is done for all your WLAN connections. Why Noka thought it would be a good idea to bury this in the settings for individual WLAN configurations is beyond me.
