Probably not an issue especially if they are weak signals.

However the higher end routers will also allow you to attach a printer and a hard drive that can be used to roll your own personal cloud / centralized back up and they also provide iTunes compatible streaming services. Meaning you can stick all your music / videos in one place.

You probably would do just fine with a run of the mill WIFI router but I like to future proof.
