New Not sure how big your new house is...
I've got a 40x30 colonial. 2 floors, plus a basement. The router is upstairs in the computer room (one of the bedrooms.) Just for you, I've walked down to the basement and am posting this from the top of my washing machine, which is about as far as I can get from the router inside my house. Total distance I'd have to estimate at about 40-50 feet, with two floors in between.

Net access is fine down here, but my feet report that the floor is cold. :)

New hmm.
I'm not sure how big it is either, right off-hand. I think it's more than 50' from one end to the other, but if I put it in the middle of the house it won't be that big a deal. It is a plaster/wood walls kind of thing, concrete and cinderblock in the basement only.
