A very good question from somebody like you, Yes thinkness of walls count on a wi-fi solution, then you should understand that wi-fi is a radio frequency solution which works with waves and very sensitive in peneration.
Wifi strongest and signal strenght depends on the AP's and Antenna's you use in transmissing your signal. The strongest of your equipment depends on the quality of both the AP'a and Antennas.
I think your should understand some concept of wi-fi solution.Thanks
