Generally, wireless doesn't go through concrete, or metal reinforced, walls all that well, it's pretty much line of sight and a deliberately fairly weak--read short-range unless you tamper with it or the antennae--signal. It won't like a lot of wood/plasterboard walls either.
I agree with what you're saying and I have observed that wireless in my house is pretty much useless.... (low signal strength). What puzzles me is how I can drive down the street with my laptop going on the console next to me and pick up a ton of signals... all good ones from people using wireless routers.. (and not protecting them at all)
