Soo many factors..
Range to AP Line of sight to AP Arial being used (omni-directional, or uni-directional) Heavy metalic items nearby (fridges, washing machines, hot water cylinders) Other devices using the 2.4Ghz range (phones, wireless keyboards/mice) Other wireless networks nearby Wall structures in line of sight (concrete bricks with reinforced steel, gib, alloyed framing) Transmit power at both ends
Sure there are many factors, but a lot of those tend to apply to commercial applications of wireless and "Media Centers" are generally a home-use scenerio (sure I may be proven wrong). I'd put my money on it that it will be a case of simplicity over complexity. People get paid money to solve simple problems with complex solutions (otherwise they don't down feasible) , people who help others for free tend to look at the other end of the scope. - Drew
