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.
I saw this suggestion, and it's pretty smart - This may be what I try next, next time I have the energy for it.
My biggest issues on wifi were random hitches and stuff. I'm on ethernet over coaxial now and it's basically flawless.
