Report a translation problem
It shouldn't but does it even lag when you plug the controller in to the host PC (citing input issues)?
The RT-N66U is one of the best router's in its class, no doubt, but make sure you have as many services on the router disables as possible otherwise it might be the culprit that is holding up packets from the host machine to your client machine.
I use a wired 360 controller as well through a D-Link DIR-636L and the lag is there, but around 10-30ms like it should be.
PROBLEM
----------------
I've been mucking around with in-home streaming and it's pretty awesome. Except I kinda had an issue where mouse input lagged noticeably.
The debug stats reported 0.20ms input and 500 to 600ms display. However the more keyboard buttons I mashed that actually caused the screen to change the lower the display number dropped down to about 60ms. The frame-rate was around 22 to 29 FPS.
My system stats should be fine
The machine being streamed from is
i7 @ 3.6GHz
16GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit
ATI 7970 ...
The machine being streamed to is
Core 2 Duo @ 3.2GHz
4GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit
ATI 4890 ...
Gigabit network, with throughput tested over a crossover cable at 980Mb/s and through the switch at 890MB/s. Ping < 1ms. The debug stats never reported Estimated Bandwidth over 550Mb/s.
I tried both the beta Steam client (build 20 May) and the normal client (I forget the build number) on both machines and neither made a difference.
The game I was testing was BioShock Infinite.
SOLUTION (possibly)
----------------
Picking either Balanced or Beautiful in-home streaming settings caused the same issue. However picking Fast setting made everything work; and changed the stats to: 0.12ms input and 33ms to 45ms display. It still looked fine and the frame-rate was a constant 59 FPS.
So there you have it: pick Fast.
THOUGHTS
------------------
None, I have no idea how using the keyboard (but not just pressing any key - it has to be a key that causes screen changes) could cause the display latency to drop whereas manically flailing with the mouse does not change the display latency in the slightest.

I noticed that in Kingdom rush the lag started happening when the mouse cursur changed from the tiny little 'hand' icon to the enourmous 'aim meteor' icon. Neither mouse cursor (hand nor meteor) were captured in the screenshot with F8.
