    In theory, without issues. 

    In practice, many things impact streaming. 

    these include:

    home size

    materials your home is made from

    device you're streaming to 

    interference from other networks

    setup of your network

    Band you're using (2.4ghz is slower and more sensitive to interference, 5ghz doesn't broadcast as far)

     

    so its not as simple as "will it work". 

    Sure, if your setup is decent, it should work great. The R6900 is a pretty capable router.
