I tried a wireless bridge... it sucked... totally.
Want one?...lol

There are some crappy ones out there for sure...but the one I linked is pretty awesome for those just now starting to wonder about how to put their miner on wireless and don't want to jump through a lot hoops to do it. I do high-end networking for a living and I'm not easily impressed with home consumer-grade gear..but this little box really surprised me for the build quality and the signal strength it was able to maintain throughout the house during my wireless torture test.

BAH! I just bough one of these today for my XBMC setup as I took my old bridge to use on my miner. I was looking at that exact product, dangit. I picked up a refurb one of these for $29USD.

For your application, you probably made the right choice spec-wise assuming you have a 5GHz-band access point for it to talk to. Streaming media over 2.4Ghz isn't all that awesome...even over N...due to the crowded spectrum and all the interference that brings. The netgear I linked is 2.4Ghz only and great for low-bandwidth applications but I wouldn't want to put a HTPC on it for multi-megabit streaming duties.
