My RT-N66U handles 720p just as well as my powerline network does, at least with a good signal, and that's on 2.4GHz with 2-3 interfering channels. If you can't get WiFi to perform, don't be surprised, but it isn't impossible. Just remember to turn off your bluetooth stuff, my connection was terrible at first and I'm pretty sure shutting down my active bluetooth connections are what fixed it. (Alas, if only my client was 5GHz) P.S. My rendering machine is always wired through powerline, so my setup does have an advantage in that the rendering machine isn't competing for wireless bandwidth with the client!
