So I'm trying to turn an old workstation into a streaming Limelight/Steam Machine. That's rendering games on my host gaming rig in the bedroom and have it streamed to the now HTPC in the living room

current setup:
Router: Asus AC56U 867+300Mbps
Host PC: N 5Ghz PCIe x1
Client PC: undecided
Hardwiring Host to router is out of the question. Hardwiring client to router is possible but I'd rather have a clean set up and may be moving in a few months so this is an absolute last resort.
So the client PC doesn't have USB 3 nor extra PCIe slots so adapters are out of the question.
Since space is small I'd rather not get powerline adapters. Router is 15ft away from client and 25ft away from host
I'm looking for cost effective ways to have this running smoothly. It'd be nice to take advantage of my router's AC.
This seems to fit the bill perfectly

Has anyone tried this? The reviews seem to include the pre-draft AC model and recent reviews seems kinda poor. I live in Canada so returning an amazon.com item is a hassle.
I live in an apt so I want to avoid the crowded 2.4Ghz band.
I'd also be interested to hear other options. Wifi bridge seems to be the best bang for buck option under $50
