Yes they do, but they shouldn't.

The problem is that you place your all-in-one cable-modem-router-AP at the point where the cable enters your house. This is unlikely to be the ideal position to place an access point.

For example, my fiber connection enters my home at one of the corners of the house. You want your AP in a central location.

I tend to agree. But in my house now, a three story, the AP is in the basement at the corner of the house. Surprisingly, I have zero trouble with all my devices connecting to it.

Are you thinking of other issues besides signal strength?
