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.
