This is the one thing I've been waiting for. I've got to find something to stick it in. I need a small media rack. Gonna have to wire the whole house to get hd to four places simultaneously. I don't think Wi-Fi N can handle it.
In theory, G can handle a single HD stream (I've tested that theory myself with my PS3 ala Netflix, seemed to work fine), though your mileage may vary. N on the other hand should be able to handle multiple HD streams just fine.
I'm having trouble with one HD stream on my N right now. It will start off fine and then say network problems are preventing the HD from streaming at it's best (or something to that effect). Nothing else is eating my bandwidth. So I'm concerned.
Because of the potential to drop packets due to your surrounding environment, it may not even matter what speed your wireless is running because by the time your hardware has realized that the packet has been dropped, you've already got stuttering on the screen.
If possible, always go for a wired connection. It'll save you headaches in the long run.
