I does depend on what the internal walls are made of. Our being a Victorian terrace just has one brick thickness on the internal walls plus the plaster. This comes to being 5 inches thick. I know some modern walls have metallic insulation on the internal walls and that would really screw the wifi. I can get 2.5 GHZ reception reasonably well 60 feet away at the bottom of the garden but 5GhZ cant get through 2 walls to the garden.

This is an ASUS RT-AC66U running Merlin. As an example in the same room my Samsung S5 gets 160Mbit/sec.
