Okay thanks.

If it's a router/modem together I'm assuming you can't put the modem close to the demarc point and put the router near the center of the home if they're two completely different points. Which is more important?

Also, it's like a student living complex so I'm thinking the demarc point might be outside somewhere so I'm guessing closest to the door would be best for the modem?
The combo router/modems have to be close to the phone jack, yes.
Demarc is where Bell connects to your building. You don't HAVE to connect there, that's just the possible best signal location. Since you were quoted less than 5meg, you'd want to hook up as close as possible (as soon as the phone line enters the building) to get the most out of the line.
Depending on how large the building is, it shouldnt matter where the wireless device is, as long as its not in a basement or there are concrete walls.
They often come on default power settings of 3-4, you can crank it up to 10 if its not sufficient.
