Can I use 5Ghz networks to play via streaming from a computer?

Question

WiFi

I turn on the game and start streaming the contents of the monitor to the network, and then I connect to this stream via smart tv or media box.
This is done in order not to throw wires.
The question is, is this design workable and will it all be playable?
Or will high input lag ruin the overall gaming experience?

Answer 1

In general, I will answer my own question:
1. What software?
Steam Link, and the Steam Link application is downloaded to the smart TV. Keep in mind you will not play pirates, only the faces of the game on your account.
2. Playable?
Yes, you can play some not very dynamic games, the picture is normal.
3. Is there any difference with hdmi?
Yes, there is, both in terms of delay and in terms of pictures. In the end, I put a 15 meter hdmi on it and stayed.

Answer 2

In classical chess and other turn-based games - you can. The main problem with any radio connection is not latency per se, but jitter due to a bunch of factors, as a result of which you will freeze the picture / delay input / fall through the sound / deteriorate the seat from heating.

Answer 3

They say yes.

To have a good experience, you need a mid to high-end wireless router with a good wireless connection to your client device (5 Gigahertz (GHz) highly recommended, Wireless-N (802.11n) or better strongly recommended) and a good connection from your PC server to your router (Ethernet/wired connections highly recommended).

A lot of course depends on the point and location of the client. But everything is simple, take it and test it.

Workable for 720p/2Mbps
Playable - no
Currently there is no wireless technology for a full-fledged viewing of a picture with a bit rate of 10Mbps+
Throw a twisted pair
cable normal, it can ride

It will work, the input lag will not play. Probably there will be not only a lag due to data transfer, which depends on the ping, there will also be, probably quite a large, delay of the streaming platform.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/mefodiy1/recommended... here is a review of SteamLink with comments about delays. The devices are no longer on sale. You can look for a boo or try their own software solution that came to replace the boxes.

Everything works fine for itself, but with the following conditions:
1. A normal 5GHz Wi-Fi router that can 802.11ac + MU-MIMO
2. A compatible TV set
3. Free broadcast
In fact, there are even services where you can rent computers online and play on them. For example https://shadow.tech/usen

There is a steamlink, under it I took a 5GHz router. In general, it plays well. But I also have a short distance from one room to another. By the way, now I’m already playing without the console itself, now there is a Simov’s steam link application, it’s worse with it, but it’s quite playable. As such, I do not notice the input lag.
