FWIW, I run my frontend on 802-11N with great success, streaming 1080p HD
from the backend. I live in NYC where I can see many (>50) wireless networks
from my apartment. I had a ton of problems running on the 2.4Ghz spectrum,
but once I flipped to 5G, all playback got really smooth. Connecting at
260Mbps Using a cisco router (E3000, dd-wrt) and cisco usb dongle (AE1000,
rt3572sta driver).
