Most all 11g/n will got 75m in line of site, no obstruction. Soon as you add walls all bets are off. All house are different, there is no way to tell, since all clinets cards preform different. I can go 50' through 4-5 walls an still have a good 54mbps connection. I've seen some that would not go 10'. My built in card with a raylink card does not play well with a TI chip USR wireless, constantly drops 5' from the AP no walls. But the same built in card works fine with a broadcom hardware.

So your answer is maybe not at all to 100ft. 11n hardware seams to loose speed vs distance quicker than 11g.
