A basic rule of thumb is that each 6 dB increase in EIRP results in a quadrupling of the transmission range (distance from the antenna), and a 6 dB reduction in EIRP translates into reducing the range by four

Question

Doubling the range requires a 6 dB increase in EIRP, not a quadrupling of the range. A 6 dB increase in EIRP doubles the signal strength, which is necessary to maintain the same signal quality over double the distance.
