Yes, you can use SteamLink on a weak Wi-Fi connection, but performance may be affected.

Your Wi-Fi is performing poorly with only 1mbps download and 0.70 upload speeds. It looks like the connection isn't stable enough for smooth streaming. Steam should handle it, but you might want to check your router settings or location for better performance.
I wouldn't suggest it. I really enjoy using my Steam Link, especially when it's connected. Without a cable, it becomes too unstable and unreliable.
These numbers refer to your internet connection—steamlink relies on your local network performance rather than these upload/download rates.
I was using Civ 6 via Steam Link recently. It had some weird dropped frames and compression issues, but it still ran. If you're not into turn-based games, you might not have much luck with this kind of problem.
I agree with djdwosk. It seems you're mixing internet and wifi concepts. The wifi on your local network would be much stronger. This doesn't guarantee a great experience; it depends on your coverage and speeds relative to your gaming PC and Steamlink. Also, the quality of gameplay over Steamlink varies by game type—shooter games tend to suffer more from lag.
Here are some games you might enjoy: GTA V, Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed, Syndicate, Rocket League, and WWII. Check if they work on your WiFi connection.
Ensure the source device is connected physically and utilize your routers in the 5ghz band when possible.
Consider a budget-friendly gigabit powerline adapter set. It should perform better than Wi-Fi and supports Steam Link.
