I've run a number of devices including Bluesound Node 2 streamers over wireless using an inexpensive access point in my living room and configuring an inexpensive router as a repeater using DD-WRT in my bedroom, which is the farthest point from my router. All worked great. Until I got my TEAC NT-505. I had all kinds of problems getting it to stay on my network. I finally ran an ethernet cable to it and it has been rock solid ever since. So the device you're using may matter. I'm super happy with the NT-505 (now) and would recommend it. But you should probably run a wire to it.
As mentioned throughout the thread, wireless introduces a lot of variables. If wireless works, great. If it's easy to run a wire, then do that and take all those variables out of the equation.
