When Wireless-n was approved I bought a cheap Rosewill AP from Newegg and a USB 
dongle, and a PCI USB card so I could learn ad hoc networks. I am in an 1895 
three story Victorian house, my computer room is on the 2nd floor. I bought this 
equipment because it was cheap and I could return it. Haven't yet.

I work all over the house, on the porch, in the back yard, it's all good. My 
usual workplace is a recliner in the library, in front of the TV. Get 100Mb or 
so, not bonding, little of what I do needs speed, but dead reliable.

I hope this is similar enough to be useful.
