I don't think the distance is that relevant.
What matters is what walls etc come in between.

There seems to be very little concrete information on router strength.
Is there any standard way of measuring this, for comparison of routers?

I have an ancient Linksys WRT54GL router (in fact two of them),
which work reasonably well. I often think of upgrading, 
but have never seen clear evidence that any newer router
would have better range, or even as good a range.
(I put in longer antennae some years ago, which improved things somewhat.)

I'd be interested to know if anyone has upgraded this router,
and found a new one that is substantially better.
