I would have thought about half that, for the wavelengths concerned.

It'd almost /need/ to be, considering that most people wouldn't have a
metre wide shelf to stand their access point that far away from the
wall.

Speaking off odd-ball wireless requirements - a friend of mine uses it
within a backyard galvanised iron shed between different equipment.  It
has to be the worst room to try and get good reception in the places
that you want to place the gear.  In his case, I'm suspicious that low
power and low gain omni antennas might be the best solution.
