Its going to depend on how far away it is from your existing Insteon network. Like TFitzpatri8 stated Insteon does not use WiFi. They use a powerline signal that goes through your house electrical wiring and an RF signal at 915Mhz.
The powerline signal can go about one mile and the RF can go about 200Ft+ in testing environments. If you have enough devices, and/or the circuit with the outlet you are using already has some Insteon on it you should be okay. You will need to test it out to be sure though.
