Wireless Router Signal Strength

[olds]

<--- Not a network person.

My step mother asked me to buy and install a wireless router for them. The signal has to travel about 100' through 2 interior (bedrooms) and 1 exterior (stucco) wall to an outside, patio area.
She wants to spend about $50.

Reading up on N routers I see comments that they have more bandwidth but less range.

They will be using a laptop, tablet and iPhones at the 100' (outside) location. They don't stream video now but they may want to in the future.
Will a $50 N router do this? I don't want to set it up and find a weak signal at the 100' location.

TIA

The outside area could be the issue since it's stucco which normally contains chicken wire.

100" to work needs wide open environment

Otherwise you will have to take it step at the time and buy one or two Wireless Routers and use them as an Access Point, $50 is probably Not a realistic budget for such project.

If X is the Modem and every thing works with Wireless get two inexpensive Wireless Routers and install them with CAT 6.

Router A to the Modem working as a Router, Router B as an Access Point connected with a Regular port to Router A.

Asus has a decent collection of Wireless Router might be that two of the lest expensive will work.

Does G have a longer range?

Does G have a longer range?

2.4ghz generally reaches farther. 2.4Ghz N will reach the same distance as 2.4ghz G. 5Ghz A and N have shorter ranges.

Went with a Cisco Linksys - E1200.
I went to the furthest location and was able to connect my Kindle Fire and browsed pretty well.

I bought that router because it was close to her price range and I was able to get an wireless USB adapter for 50% off.

She doesn't want the modem/router in the TV room but they have Comcast there and it's closer to the outside wall if they need a stronger signal. Then I'll move the combo and use the adapter on their desktop.

Thanks for the help.

Good to hear that you got it to work, stuff like this is tricky, not really that easy to determine how much penetration you are going to get in a given scenario unless you try it (or have tons of time to research density/absorbtion/power etc)

8ft! maybe on a 50ghz network!
