I haven't upgraded in years. I use Wireless G 54mbs. this streams normal HD movies fine (haven't tried Bluray yet)
I would think the newer adapters which are faster would out perform what I have.
If your having problems then it's most likely the web site has too many users and is slooooow

I'm kind of surprised at your response. I've been reading that an ethernet connection is the best and , at least for many, the only way to go. I have had stuttering but I will check other feeds as you suggest. In the meantime, I'd like to hear other people's experience--you might just be very lucky.
A strong G connection will allow you to stream HD. That said, the quality of your wireless connection is entirely dependent on environmental factors in your location.
I watch Netflix movies in HD and access MPEG-2 HD on my NAS through my TiVo box, which is connected wirelessly to my network. I started with a G adapter and changed to an N adapter simply because someone gave me one and I noticed no improvement in performance for the simple fact that my G connection was robust enough to begin with. The access point sits directly below the TiVo box, one story down so it gets a solid connection. It's extremely rare that there are streaming issues and when there are, they are momentary.
If you go with N spec, you'll likely be in better shape with improved bandwidth and range. If you have any doubts as to range issues, go with N.
Is this for mobile purposes or a fixed set up? My kids watch Netflix and access the NAS through their laptops in the house. They know there are spots where they don't get a good connection and they simply avoid them. If you need seamless streaming you may need multiple access points if you live in a big house or an older house with plaster lathe that will interfere with the signal.
And yeah, of course ethernet is the best option from a reliability standpoint because it is not prone to the interference or range issues that wireless is. If you can do what you need to do with ethernet, go for it.
