Morning guys,

Looking at getting my parents this wireless router so they can stream netflix through the wii. Just wanted to get a little feedback and have a couple of questions

1.) First of all is streaming netflix through Wii any good? I stream through appletv at home and love it but just wondering about the Wii setup.

2.) Will this router provide enough juice to stream? It will be in the attic approx. 30 feet from the Wii.

Once again thanks for any help

I stream Netflix over wifi on my Wii all of the time. It works great and I have no issues with the picture quality. I would think that your wifi signal would be strong enough. The only way to know for sure is to set it up.

Why are you placing the router in the attic? The only way I would do this is there's foam insulation in the rafters. Otherwise, the intense heat in the attic could greatly reduce the useful life of your router.
