If 4k can be streamed why do we even have consoles and pcs anymore?

What kind of wifi is coming to sustain that?
NM found it, 802.11 ac, time to upgrade everything again...


I wonder if the often 2 bars I get in the living room will be enough for that :/

I picked up an expensive Linksys AC router few months ago for my Nvidia Shield streaming, and while better than my old 802.11N...there is no way this can to 1080p let alone 4K.

Consumer grade WiFi is quite terrible but industrial grade stuff is getting there. So I wouldn't upgrade just yet, but in a few years when we get better tech it would be worthwhile.
