If you're looking for a cheap streamer for your HD TV, this is the one to get. I never noticed that my tv has a slight delay with inputs.The brand new Chromecast with Google TV HD is far and away the best HD-only, entry-level streaming device you can find. So there you have it! If you are holding back setting up that dream streaming set up, don't give up! The ethernet connection is worth your time and effort.ĮDIT: Everything has been great! Recently discovered steam link offers surround sound if your game and tv set up offer it and it is awesome! I also got a gaming projector and any input lag is virtually nonexistent. Don't worry I eventually purchased a second controller, touch controls you look at are bad, touch controls you don't look at are worse. My wife and I have been happily playing Lego Harry Potter together. As a bonus, I only had one controller but found out I can make a second controller by connecting my phone's steam link to the same computer. Video quality is like the computer is right there, controls are responsive, and the sound quality is perfect. I did run into some problems with my hand wiring, but it all got resolved. I was worried about the 100 Mbs cap on the firestick, but so far it hasn't been a problem.Īfter that it has been smooth sailing. After some research, the ugreen ethernet to usb was recommended over the amazon adapter. I had to terminate some wires and install a wall jack (if you want a guaranteed good connection, don't do it by hand like I did. My computer is right next our modem and our apartment has a direct cat 5e connection from the bedroom modem to the front living room.

There were some hurdles, but they all lined up pretty well.

Steam link to our living room tv seemed like a great way to play games with my wife and play games at night or in the morning where I wouldn't bother my wife in the bed room. I wanted to make sure my gaming rig got it's use while also staying in our bedroom so I can focus on school work. Gaming life is different being married with a kid. In summary, it is everything I hoped it would be! No lag and max quality. Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my experience with steam link on the fire stick 4k. Cat 5e ethernet connection, tested down/up at 1 GbsĮthernet connection to firestick (ugreen 1Gbs adapter) cat 5e, 100 Mbs up and down.
