A decent router or Wireless Access Point helps, but even with decent routers or WAPs, you can sometimes need more than one to cover a reasonable distance.
I know some members have houses that are rather old and have thick stone walls. Something that can reduce wireless range considerably, even with a good router/WAP.
For instance, I work in a Grade 1 Listed building with 4 foot thick stone exterior walls, and intererior walls that are (in places) a couple of feet thick. We use enterprise Cisco WAPS and the range (using 802.11n at both 2 GHz and 5GHz) is around 25 metres.
As such, to cover our campus, we have (I think) dozens of WAPs.
