sure possible, can't say it's not, I did manage to find a channel that only
I'm on in the 5 ghz range and all machines are within 2 meters of the AP.
But of course it's wifi so, no real guarantees.

Both computers are running windows 10. Server is running a qualcomm device
says it's using the killer wireless n/a/c version 4.0.2.26 (fishy, I know
killer wireless is sort of it's own qos, I think I've effectively disabled
it though). Client is running an Intel Dual Band wireless AC 8260,
driver 19.71.1.1.

homestreaming is basically all udp, maybe the packets are just getting
dropped?
