Another Node2i Question

I hope this question has not been asked over and over. I’ve been considering getting a Node2i and unfortunately I have no way of going with the Ethernet route and will rely solely on WiFi as my set up is not set up where I have access to a router. 
I’m with UVerse so I don’t have crazy mbps numbers. How has running the Node strictly WiFi worked for you? Is even worth messing with without being connected to the router via Ethernet?

Thanks,
Buckheadmac

Google the brand and model number of the device that powers your wifi to find out the bandwidth.
I Googled my router # when I was having dropouts and discovered it was only 2.4GHz.

So, I upgraded to a new model.

Is your service 50 mbps Total? If so, then the number of devices being used comes into play.

My Node2i via BluOs on Android works very well. I had to upgrade my router to 5gHz because there was too much traffic in my neighborhood on 2.4G.
Ive listened to Qobuz via wifi for close to a year and it sounds terrific thru my DAC.
Recently, I switched to ethernet CAT8, but you should 
be able to enjoy streaming through wifi.

Does U Verse offer wifi signals to other devices in the house?
Is 5GHz available?
