If that's the Power Capability element from IEEE 802.11-2016 "Power Capability element", then the minimum and maximum transmit power are signed 8-bit integers "in units of decibels relative to 1 mW", i.e. they're signed dBm. 249 is 0xF9 which, if it were correctly interpreted as a signed 8-bit value, would be -7 dBm.

If Wireshark is interpreting those fields in a Power Capability element as unsigned values, that's a bug in Wireshark; please report it on the Wireshark Bugzilla.
