    It would be very hard to tell. My neighbor has a Linksys WRT54G and i can see their signal 500ft away. It will also depend, there are a lot of things that interfere with wireless. TV's, fridges, microwaves, etc. There both good routers. Then you can even buy range extenders if you want to increase your signals distance.

    I have the WPN824. Haven't had any range problems as of yet.
