Steam Link over wifi (lemmy.world)

Anyone have any experience playing over Steam Link on wifi?

It seems like no matter what I do, the performance is really shitty. Both the host and the client are in line of sight of the router, and I can get 500+ mbps and my latency seems good, but the performance is garbage. As soon as I go wired, I can get great performance at 100mbps or less.

Is there a good way to mitigate this? Am I doing something wrong?

It is shittty. I wish I could find my power cable for the actual Steam Link Device.

Tested this out the other day. pC hardwired to router and laptop literally 2 feet away. It was entirely unplayable.
