I have been using mezzmo for awhile now to stream to my DLNA TV but i have had it hardwired to my router then TV.

We are thinking of re-arranging and putting the computer in another room.

Before i go out and drop money on a wireless N card are you able to stream movies in 1080 wireless without many issues? If not this is a deal breaker for me and we will have to keep it where it is.

My most common files i stream are MKV (2-5 GB per movie)

thanks!
 
Solution
Getting a dualband adapter might help, or possibly try a powerline solution. The kitchen in between may be problematic. Many devices there could interfere.


About 30 feet away. Kitchen and bathroom is between. We have a laptop in that room and it ussually gets almost full signal and thats with one of those 30 dollar USB wireless cards.

My router is dual-band. If i buy and put it a dualband card in my computer does dual band make a significant difference, or is it more of a marketing thing?
