What is the quality of the backhaul between the RBS in your house and the main house? You can see this in the web admin interface. Connecting a laptop to your RBS with ethernet and then running speedtest is another (often better) way to estimate the backhaul quality. From the picture, it looks like you could potentially reduce the distance between the two RBS a bit. That could improve the internet speed overall that you see in your house.
As far as transmit power goes, if you can reduce the setting on the RBS in the main house, that might help "encourage" clients to connect to your RBS.
Is your home getting power from the main house? Or does it have its own connection?
