I can go out in the front/back yard and use wifi.
Also I am doing some work for a company that owns 103 acres, all covered by wifi. They use multiple towers though.

It can be done, but not with $50 wireless router.

I use 'N' at home (decent linksys router) and get over an acre of coverage (from a wireless 'N' router that's sitting 3' below ground level). It's very protected (PCI compliant), easily monitored, and reliable. Granted; I'm in the middle of nowhere with little interference, lots of open space (well there are lot of trees). Plus I see my neighbors networks as available and they are a couple hundred feet away (even 'g' networks are detected).. maybe I'm just in one of those areas where it works well.

Surprisingly, the kitchen seems to get a weak signal while the backyard registers as strong .. and it is further away if measured. Go figger.

Get an 'N' router and adapter and you should get pretty decent range.

/IMO, and I am NOT a network expert, just seem to have good luck.
