Most modern routers should be able to handle this just fine, but it's worth considering just how much weight you'll be expecting your router to lift. Not only will your network need to be fast and reliable enough to maintain a constant connection, but also for the PC to communicate with the outside world for online gaming.
And of course, you'll need to fire up your gaming rig every time you wish to play something on Steam Link.Ĭouple this with playing a multiplayer game and you could end up having some latency problems. The two ends need to constantly stream data across a network, which can cause issues for lag input and stuttering if there's a slight dip in wireless performance. This can get tricky, especially if you move it from device to device, because of Bluetooth idiosyncrasies.Depending on what router you have and just how powerful the signal is around your home, you may be better off hooking up your PC to the Link via ethernet cabling. As noted earlier this week, Steam quietly enabled Bluetooth support in the Steam Controller in preparation for this launch. Then you connect your Bluetooth controller to the device. It also means your streaming box or phone has to be attached to the same network and the bandwidth needs to be pretty constant. That's because it sends whatever's coming off the video card to the app. If you've never used Steam's streaming, you should note that it completely takes over your system, simultaneously displaying the streamed game. First, you enable and set up Steam's in-home streaming feature within the desktop Steam application on a host system attached to your network. There are three steps to setting up the system.
In that sense, the clean, easy-to-use interface is a welcome surprise. So it's set the bar pretty low in what we expect from the company on mobile. Valve's been lagging in its app development if you judge by its current Steam mobile app (on both Android and iOS), which is clunky, ugly and missing some capabilities.
