If you are benchmarking how long it takes a brophen to install an app I think we are at 1.3 seconds

Good timing. I applied the Steam update last night at home and updated the firmware of my steam controller as a preparatory step.

I think I have some experimenting to do tonight involving a 10.5" tablet, my couch, some headphones, GRID Autosport, and a now-bluetooth-enabled steam controller.

The 5Ghz requirement might push me to finish configuring the dual-band AC router I acquired recently as well (to replace a ~7 year old dual-band N router). The new one has external antennas and hopefully enough 5Ghz range to hit the whole house.

The 5Ghz requirement

I think it's not an requirement but a recommendation for optimal performance. It could be a requirement in practice, though.

Got quite fast responce from guy at valvesoftware.com after reporting my galaxy s5 had problems and picture seemd distorted with rainbow colors. Think they are working on this which is nice.

Working ok, at least on 5Ghz, they actually stream your whole desktop, switch virtual desktop and you're in your browser.

Yes a controller is a must though.
