Well it does depend a lot what your walls are made of, too. Wood and plaster board will be nearly transparent to WiFi waves. Wood and plaster with a steel mesh lathe will be fairly difficult to get through. Concrete with steel re-bar can be a problem and a wall with aluminum siding will be fairly difficult to transmit through.

This does beg the question, do you want connectivity or isolation?
