I used to have wifi issues, but then I bought one of the UniFi Long Range wifi models.

I really can't imagine a house that would not be entirely serviced by a single one of those.

I still get 3 bars on my iPhone 30 meters down my driveway, let alone in the house.

I got one because we use them at work, and I was still getting usable internet in a supermarket 100 meters from my office across a parking lot.

They are designed for commercial use so initial setup is a bit complicated and requires java, but I have to recommend it.

Getting range in open air is easy (relatively speaking), but obstructions (walls etc.) can have a huge effect. I've managed >100m on a WRT-54G (with a slightly increase output power and a 7dBi antenna); same setup wouldn't reliably connect between my study and living room (~15m distance) due, presumably, to the metal in the walls.

UniFi LRs are really great, however I found it hard to get hold of the 5GHz ones.

UAP-AC-Lite and UAP-ACs and UAP-AC-LRs are available next-day-delivery from Amazon... I recently bought a UAP-AC-LR (to compare against my OnHub) and had it two days later via Prime.

They now even allow basic AP config via an Android/iOS app, so I didn't have to install the Java-based controller on a Windows box...
