My wife and I have been happily playing Lego Harry Potter together. As a bonus, I only had one controller but found out I can make a second controller by connecting my phone's steam link to the same computer. Video quality is like the computer is right there, controls are responsive, and the sound quality is perfect. I did run into some problems with my hand wiring, but it all got resolved. I was worried about the 100 Mbs cap on the firestick, but so far it hasn't been a problem.Īfter that it has been smooth sailing. After some research, the ugreen ethernet to usb was recommended over the amazon adapter.
I had to terminate some wires and install a wall jack (if you want a guaranteed good connection, don't do it by hand like I did. My computer is right next our modem and our apartment has a direct cat 5e connection from the bedroom modem to the front living room. There were some hurdles, but they all lined up pretty well. Steam link to our living room tv seemed like a great way to play games with my wife and play games at night or in the morning where I wouldn't bother my wife in the bed room. I wanted to make sure my gaming rig got it's use while also staying in our bedroom so I can focus on school work. Gaming life is different being married with a kid. In summary, it is everything I hoped it would be! No lag and max quality. Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my experience with steam link on the fire stick 4k. Looking forward to when they do optimize it and hopefully they can work out these issues with the ethernet adapter.Cat 5e ethernet connection, tested down/up at 1 GbsĮthernet connection to firestick (ugreen 1Gbs adapter) cat 5e, 100 Mbs up and down. It's one of the first things I messed around when when I got the CCwGTV since ordering it on launch-day, I'm pretty impressed considering it's not yet an optimized device and it's so affordable. Otherwise, it's been pretty great, even since launch. I also see a difference when gaming using Steam Link, so I unplug the cat 6 when gaming. When using it connected to ethernet & test the connection using Netflix -> Help -> Test Connection, I saturate the adapter's connection at nearly the full 100 mbps. I don't think it's an issue with the adapter. Using wifi it has no issue maxing out the Steam Link network test at 100 mbps. SO, when using the official Google ethernet adapter, Steam Link tops out at 35 mbps when testing the connection, even though both client & server are connected via ethernet.
I have gigabit fiber at my house and everything is connected using gigabit ethernet and enterprise (UniFi) switches/APs. I know it's only 100mbps, but I care more about latency than top speed, and latency should always be better with wired vs. I came here to chime-in on some issues with the official Google Ethernet Adapter.
