I think, i have an not much expensive solution for this problem:
don't use WLAN, make it simpler by using an wireless audio/video
transmitter.
I got this at Conrad Electronic for only 250,- DM, incl. I/R
Transmitter/Receiver.
It works great for me over 20m.
I used it before my DVB adventure for my DivX/DVD Player (PC :-).

HTH Mario
