You are being optimistic ;-). On WIFI you will never get 8 mbs through 
the air. The effective bandwidth (at most) on a good day will be about 
5,5 mbs.

Target not so perfect circumstances and encode for a bandwidth of 2-3 
Mbs at that distance ... et voila there is even some slack in the bandwidth.
