I've seen that done in very high-end ($$$) custom homes...creates a very interesting challenge for lots of devices...cell phones, wireless devices, any kind of radio. One client ended up putting external antennas in the attic crawlspace, connected to the computer with an antenna cable dropped through the wall. Throughput with that arrangement was awesome!
If you don't see other WAPs in your area (assuming you don't live in a rural area) when you scan for connection points, then try taking your wireless consuming device to a window, or outdoors. If you suddenly discover quite a few WAPs that you didn't see inside your house, suspect wire screen lathe in the plaster walls. Of course, that wouldn't explain how it worked before you rearranged device locations...

Ken - if you continue to have problems getting connectivity restored it might be helpful to share the configuration of the system. (Are the wireless routers all connected to each other via cable or are some of the units acting as repeaters.) Another issue is whether each unit runs it's own DHCP server. Finally - is each access point on a different non-interfering channel?
