Blueray at its worst is no more than 54 Mbit/s which would fit comfortably inside the bandwidth of 802.11n, let alone 100Mbit/s ethernet. Atv2 can handle that with a tiny margin, and atv3 has no problem with such streams, in my experience. WiFi or copper, A4 of A5-single core should be enough. But, YMMV.
Yep, it works fine! Based on the VUDU system we have on our VIZIO TV, you need about 8-9MBit minimum download in to the house to get 1080 from them. I assume that this is similar for the streaming.
Streaming within the house is not an issue, and when it becomes an issue I have found I need to reboot the router. Which version of "n" is the ATV using? Is it the low power, or the 300 MBit? Either way, there will be plenty of internal bandwidth to stream video to multiple ATV's.
A lot of people think they need to upgrade their routers to get better internet, when it rarely makes any difference because the incoming pipe is always the limit. We have "n" in the house because our "g" router started crashing when we entered the house with our iPads. We got an "n" Airport Extreme so I could set up a Time Machine backup system. It is really nice to walk in the house, and have the Macbook backup automatically while I make dinner.

cool stuff.
not sure if I will upgrade from itv2 yet, but I do love the device!
We did not upgrade, we added. ATV2 is in the bedroom, and we added the ATV3 in the front room. It is really nice. I was playing Angry Birds from my iPad 3 on the 47 inch VIZIO, and then streaming Star Trek and podcasts.
