Unfortunately, I think it's unlikely that a wireless bridge would work for audio streaming over this distance and with these obstacles in the way. In my case, the over-the-air distance is about 10 feet with one breeze-block wall, two doors and no floors.

Is it possible to run an Ethernet cable over part of the distance upstairs or downstairs (or both)? This would reduce the over-the-air distance separating the bridge units. The only other option would be to find an alternative type of homeplugs that are better able to handle heavy traffic loads and audio streaming.
