It's a Begonia and other than a couple of interior walls, there is no major obstructions anywhere in my home.

Just tried it again in the far corner of the garage - as far away as physically possible and through an exterior wall and around a car and golf cart. Again, no degradation at all.

So for me, centrally-located is not necessary, wired is not necessary, and wifi pods are not necessary. Every manufacturer's router is different but right now I'm pretty happy with mine.
