So, I have 802.11b/g/n (1x1) wifi in my laptop. Just how useless is it if I stream videos off like hulu or netflix? Am I okay for at least 3 years with this, or is the 802.11ac necessary now?

what can your laptop do? 1080p?
5 megabits is what you need per netflix which is easy on wireless N

1080. Yes

Got a 128 m2 ssd if that matters...? 8g mem

802.11ac was never really needed for general use, its only claim to fame was more bandwidth so it can serve more people.
4k Netflix may be a struggle on a N connection but that is out of your use case.
Don't get too far from your router and you can do 1080p Netflix just fine

you can do 1080p Netflix on almost anything made in the last 7-8 years so don't worry about that

Cool, bro!
You should be good for a while, your main bottleneck will be your internet speed plus however many devices are sharing it. (ex: 10mb connection / 5 devices = 2mb per device, roughly)

4k netflicks on my little 13 inch laptop is a bit beyond. I am happy with the 1080p. If i had a desktop, yea, 4k all the way. Thanks for that. I had not thought about 4k at all.
