It's not the size that matters, I'm told.

You can increase the range of a wi-fi signal by using a higher gain
aerial. It's also possible to use more directional aerials which will
increase the range in one direction and decrease it in another. With the
right aerials at each end the maximum range of a domestic wi-fi signals
is over 3,000 metres.
