Remember that the 2.4 GHz band is UHF radio, and has greater range that 
the higher WiFi bands. Some WiFi routers are much better than others. 
It's worth studying the reviews online. Antenna location matters. So 
does mounting the unit so that it goes through windows rather than 
walls, and with line of sight to remote devices. Range can also be 
extended by using a WiFi router that allows for an external gain 
antenna. I have in my stash a couple of vertical antennas that provide 
about 10 dB gain in the horizontal plane.
