Just to clarify, zero input lag playing over a network is physically impossible. Even if I connected your PC console directly to the server with a giant exclusive optical fiber, you would still be limited by the speed of light. Even in this ideal and impossible scenario, you would get 7 ms to send a command and 7 ms to receive the result (supposing there is an ideal 0 ms to process the input and give you the result, impossible again), resulting in 14 ms. Now move it to the real world and you get one hell of a challenge.
In my house, just pinging my router I get 150 ms, so that's what I will have with Remote Play. Anyway, it works pretty decently to play a little bit on separate parts of the house and that's because my PS4 is on wifi too, while the best would be put it on a wired connection. It's good to note that you must at least have your Vita on an area of the house with good wifi coverage, but that's just common sense.
