Streaming TV Signals on a G Router

Right now (when I get it working again) I use an Asus WL520GU, wireless G router.
I have a 6 MB connection and I am going to start streaming TV signals in HD. I will probably stream over CAT 5 but there may be a point where I do it wireless.
Is the G router fast enough?
TIA
 
Purely HD signals are too high of bandwidth for G, you will need N for that unfortunately. You can probably get the streaming itself to work but it'll have to buffer A LOT and it'll probably start & stop for you (talking from experience). Now if your going over cat5e or cat6, sky's the limit and you'll have no problem streaming with that.
 
So, I can use the G router and send the signal to via CAT5e? I can move the router and do that.

 
The G is only the Wireless aspect. With cable routers on the LAN side are Switches and you get the regular 100Mb/sec. traffic.

Not sure if you wrote that correctly or if I'm mis-reading that. If you use hard wired cat5e for your HD streaming that will work as it's 100mb. As long as it's not going over wireless G, HD streaming will just not work.

Yes, I meant wired.
I can move the router to the other room and get my PC signal via wireless. I won't be streaming anything from these PCs.

 
What are you serving your streaming data with? You could use something like TVersity to lower the bandwidth requirements significantly and be fine using 802.11G.
