I recently drilled through the ceiling to get ethernet to my Mac Mini (and
AppleTV, PS3, etc) and the difference in speed, even over my rural 3.5Mbps
internet, was remarkable. If you use Wifi and share it with iPads and iPhones,
you're going to see performance hit hard.
I've not seen this issue, but I am in an apartment so the distance between the
two points is fairly small.
i get excellent results streaming from older MBP --ethernet--> Time Capsule
(older N version) --wifi--> 1/4" bronze plate, drywall, insulation, stucco,
air, asphalt shingles, insulation, drywall, air --> AppleTV2; the wifi distance
is about 30 feet
there are around ten other wifi signals nearby, some of which are strong, but
i've chosen my channels strategically; the iPhones are 802.11g only, so they
don't slow down the N signal, but i suppose the iPad2 might; i only stream from
the MBP "server", not from internet because Qwest/Centurylink crippled
traditional DSL when they brought fiber to the local box that's only 150 feet away
