if the distance is within ieee standards then no u dun need an access point
a simple ad hoc connection would do
but however like i said ... it depends on the thickness of your walls ...
the 2 rooms in my house are almost adjacent .. but the pc spot being on the extreme ends
and no the wireless range is not enough for the connection. you would need to use a signal booster or you'll need to test with the placement of the access point !


an access point is basically a WLAN transceiver that operates either as a bridge in a peer-to-peer connection or as a connector between the wired and wireless segments of the network.
ofcourse u get wireless routers as well
