I remember when I used to live in an apartment complex, there were at least 10 other wifi networks in range, so I guess your situation might be broadly similar and that even with 802-11N it won't be good. Even if you get sufficient bandwidth, It only takes someone in the complex to turn on a microwave or something and you get a momentary dropout.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><br>

I live in NYC where I can see many (>50) wireless networks from my apartment. I had a ton of problems running on the 2.4Ghz spectrum, but once I flipped to 5G, all playback got really smooth. Connecting at 260Mbps Using a cisco router (E3000, dd-wrt) and cisco usb dongle (AE1000, rt3572sta driver). </div>
