Yes, the WRT54G is good. You won't find any specified distance, as the
range you get with any WiFi connection depends on the structure you're in
(material, number of walls, wiring....) and other environmental conditions
(interference from other WiFi networks, other radio frequency emitters....).

The configuration and orientation of your laptop can also influence range at
any time.

Generally, expect to be able to get a usable signal 100 feet from the router
for normal residential indoor purposes, within 50 feet will be better. YMMV
