      Is it reliable enough for that? I suppose if you’re streaming something, it’s not a big deal because the display can buffer the video to avoid dropping frames when there’s dropped packets. But interactive tasks would suffer from the latency involved in buffering. Bandwidth would need to be high enough to be able to compensate for dropped packets. Though I believe that as bandwidth increases, so do dropped wireless packets.
