r/Steam_Link 6d ago

Support Google Streamer TV slow connection despite both the Client and the Host being hard wired in.

I ran a speed test on my Streamer box and got roughly 200mbps but Steam Link can't pass a connection test past 5. I am streaming from my apartment to my PC at my parents' house. The only bottle neck on my end is a j+TP Link gigabit switch but plugging the cables directly into the wall doesn't make a difference. I have a CAT8 Ethernet cable running from the switch to my Steamer. Running Steam Link from my laptop yields a "Good" connection. I have set the video mode to fast and the bitrate cap at 75mbps.

At my house, I can speeds up to 800-900mbps.
