Steam Link

Steam Link

Over 25 mbps causes freeze
I have a steam link hardware device and it's connected to my home network via 1 gigabit Ethernet.
When I set the streaming settings to use 10 mbps or 20 mbps it works great. But at 30mbps and up it just freezes and the connectivity icon turns red. This also happens when I set the rate to "automatic (recommended)".

Is this a known issue? Is the problem because the device can't handle such a high rate?

its also limited by the setting on the host pc

steam -> settings -> remote play -> advanced client options -> bandwidth limit
set it to 50-75mb/s or ulmited for 1080p
or if streaming outside your house or to a non direct connction, then about 75% of the internet upload speed at host location

if using wifi, check the router settings, and disable wifi isolation for the ssid you use, so streaming in your own house/equipment will allow devices to talk directly to each other

set windows network to private not public
and disable any vpn

those will also force remote play to use steams internet relays, and your internet upload+download
instead of direct connection using only lan/wifi bandwidth
