I've been using Sunshine/Moonlight for a couple of years now. Over wifi to my client device (NVIDIA Shield) it worked ok but would have a 0.5-1.0 second lag spike every few minutes. I tried all kinds of suggestions I could find but nothing properly fixed the issue. Besides that though the latency was fine enough.

Switching to ethernet resolved all issues and further improved the latency and it's been perfect streaming at 4K 60Hz. I've only ever done local streaming though.

    Thank you. Seeing a theme here with ethernet. I do wish there was a reliable wifi solution, but I guess that's more than technology can deliver right now.

    If ethernet to your main router isn’t doable, your workaround is to have a dedicated router connected to you PC’s ethernet port and broadcasting its own WiFi just for streaming.

    My partner and I use this setup with pocket-sized travel routers for LAN parties so that we can use our Steam Decks and SFF PCs instead of moving a whole keyboard/mouse/monitor setup and requiring a desk.
