Hello,
I am getting the Steam Link to stream video games across my LAN, a wired connection is strongly recommended, but I cant run a cable. I currently have draft N equipment. I don't really care about speed; 70Mbps throughput is plenty. I really need stability; low jitter and ping. The devices will be about 30 feet apart through walls. Will I get better stability by upgrading the NIC and router to 802.11AC. Will QOS help much? Anything specific I should look for? Would about adhoc? It seems adhoc is discontinued though.
It seems some devices simply work better, and I am not sure why. Streaming though an Amped Wireless range extender works great, but it sometimes locks up. Streaming through a Netgear WNR3000V3, the connection is a lot less stable. But it seems your benchmarks measure speed more than jitter and ping, which makes selection hard.
Thank you for the help.
