In the settings, the maximum speed is 30Mb/s, which suggests it doesn’t need gigabit connectivity. A 10/100 Ethernet port might limit performance when streaming at 1080P and full settings. Your experiences could help clarify this.

Since data travels straight between devices, your ISP's performance doesn't matter much. It's ideal to have the host linked via Ethernet, with the client optionally connected through Wi-Fi. Set bandwidth to auto for flexibility, though unlimited might cause delays.

I understand your concern. Would it be a problem if the client is fully utilized at 10/100, or do you require a gigabit link to the host?

It should work fine. I connect via Wi-Fi for both host and client, and everything runs smoothly. Obviously, gigabit would be preferable, but it isn't essential.

Your concern remains. Can I play games smoothly without lag on a slow 10/100 connection while using 1080P resolution?

he mentioned he's managing the connection via wifi, which often struggles to exceed 100mbit per second... yes, it's possible. I've tested in-home streaming through wifi here using N, without any AC. Files transfer at about 3MB/s, which is sufficient... gigabit speeds are really unnecessary for home streaming; better to give it a shot... it won't cause your house to overheat if it doesn't work.

The image will appear slightly blurry because of the compression effects, but it should work fine. I just configured my clients' Ethernet to 100Mbps to ensure this.
