I would suggest that you will not know until you put a wireless router/modem in place (regardless of brand) but it may be wise to see if the item of your choice allows for additional units to be included in the network later to bridge the weak spots...For example the AEBS can be used as the real base station and then one or more Airport Extremes added as needed if the range does not quite make it to the farther reaches of the house...as a bonus you can listen to music remotely as well or hook up a printer...Other manufacturers will no doubt have similar options for their range of products...it may help to know that if the signal is weak in some parts of the house then the speed will also reduce as well...from 54 down to 11 for example...Going wireless is worth it though and once you have one base station, you can always add others as needed and budget allows...
