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?

A few months ago I was having issues using Remote Play over WiFi to my Steam Deck.

These are the steps I took to troubleshoot the issue and overall I ended up with a much superior Steam Link experience as well.

My Steam Link is hard wired but my computer is wireless. I recommend trying to adjust some of the settings I listed in my Steam post.

Best of luck, and I'll happily answer any questions that I didn't address in my original post.
