Same here regarding distance. The further away you are, the slower it gets.

Even your body posture (ie: sitting with your back against the signal) will have an impact.

I can't say this with certainty, but I've had days where my signal is worse than others - maybe periodic interference or indoor climate??

You can always try a range extender - it worked for me.

I've been using a D-Link 802.11b AP. My dad has a SMC 802.11g AP and the signal on that seems much better. My father in law as an AirPort base station and the distance it incredible.

The walls in my house (and father) are wood and plaster. In laws are wood and sheetrock. Probably a little easier to get through?

My experiences are with a PowerBook 15 Ti and 802.11b.
