For a short time, I had a borrowed iBook acting as a base station for 
802.11b and 2 floors below me in the laundry room of the dorm building 
I got a decent signal in my TiBook (that gets terrible reception). 
COnsidering the difference between dorm and apartment/house 
construction, I don't think you'd have any problem with that.
