Through two thin brick walls, a kitchen and another solid wall, I have to switch to 2.4 Ghz for enough reception for browsing. There is not much bandwidth left. A cable or a separate connection to the neighbouring house is probably more sensible. But at 74.- you can try it out, basically I'm very satisfied with the thing. By the way, under optimal conditions, maybe 300 to 400 megabits are left over from my gigabit via Wlan. That's without a wall.
