I haven't read the rest of this thread because I thought it was about  
"how to release an encoder", but this message happened to catch my eye  
so I apologize if it's been discussed, but you'll want to set up an  
802.11n wireless network using WPA2 security and do NOT use NAT. Set  
the router to ignore other protocols and you should reach good enough  
speeds to consistently stream video. I can almost do OTA HD with tons  
of other wireless traffic happening including 802.11g stuff on the  
same network. If it's isolated to just the video, you should be ok.
