"sort of": To get decent reception near my TV from my AP in my house, I need an external antenna on whatever wireless device is in use.
if I move the nexus player to a totally impractical location on top of a bookshelf, connected to the TV using a very long HDMI cable, then I can stream via its internal wifi.
If I put the nexus near my TV in a nice looking way, then no, its reception is too weak, and there are too many things between the wifi AP and the nexus.
The wifi reception that I get from this box is roughly the same as reception on a phone/tablet. The big problem is that there is no external antenna & to get decent reception near my TV from my AP in my house, I need an external antenna. I actually have the nexus plugged into a wireless bridge via a USB wired ethernet connection. The wireless bridge has really big antennas, and gets a solid connection.

To get around the wifi problems you can use a Ethernet dongle. http://www.androidcentral.com/about-nexu...sb-support
