Cloud gaming requires a rock-solid network connection, both LAN and WAN. Ironically in this case the LAN segment is going to be the problem.
You need either Ethernet or good enterprise-grade AP(s). It's unlikely a mesh system will work (might need tuning), and forget trying to use the ISP's router-AP combo unless you're willing to sit directly within line-of-sight of it.
The hard requirement on Ethernet or good Wi-Fi is likely to exclude a lot of casual gamers, and those who do fit the requirements are likely to be enthusiasts who most likely do have a gaming PC already.

So I know that performance has been reportedly amazing but I'm curious how it is when you are playing from smaller cities away from any nearby servers? I do feel this is quite a problem especially with latencies.
