FCC 15_247:
(b) The maximum peak output power
of the intentional radiator shall not exceed
the following:
(1) For frequency hopping systems in
the 2400–2483.5 MHz band employing at
least 75 hopping channels, all frequency
hopping systems in the 5725–5850 MHz
band, and all direct sequence systems:
1 watt.

(3) Except as shown in paragraphs
(b)(3) (i), (ii) and (iii) of this section, if
transmitting antennas of directional
gain greater than 6 dBi are used the
peak output power from the intentional
radiator shall be reduced below
the stated values in paragraphs (b)(1)
or (b)(2) of this section, as appropriate,
by the amount in dB that the directional
gain of the antenna exceeds 6
dBi.
================================
So, you can have 1 Watt DSSS (Wi-Fi) intentional radiator with 6 dBi antenna gain.
