What tools can I use to optimize my home network for streaming?

[Cata2k]

I've been playing BG3 a lot via streaming on my old POS laptop. Even though I'm using the 5GHz band I get a lot of stuttering.

Both PCs are connected wirelessly. The way the room is, that's the only option.

I'm connected via 5Ghz on both devices
I set Steam streaming traffic priority to high and bandwidth to unlimited

Yeah thats the problem with wifi, you make a bottleneck. in wifi. and now dont get why wifi sux.

do you know what double band is. only way out of it, or go cable.

ps.
wifi is seen as worst pc user ever, and i stick to that, you dont bring lag down on any server in the world with wifi user,
what you do in single play game is another matter and yet not, its same BS, you dont seem to understand wifi limitations in the first place.

wifi is good for 1 thing fast email checking and that all good things said about wifi. rest is down hill from there.

Pro PC Gamers that play several hours , should not be on wifi at all,
if wifi is so great why do Tournaments not use it, and thats why they dont.
you can do it but its not recommended at all.

the world gamer server is worse then more wifi user there is on them.
thats how hate we actual should be, or put all wifi user on own laggy game server , get ride off them, thats actual a good solutions , let them lag among themself. ( not a joke )

Yeah, I'd rather use a cable but I can't. The way the room is set up has the internet coax cable in a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ spot. Any other ideas besides "use ethernet"?

Can you split network with 2 wifi, its not a solution its more sperated broadcast networktraffic to from wifi router to 1 pc and back, then you get other router to send traffic to that device, as yo see the double bandwide, do note this will fail then all do this, as i said not a solution more broadcast storm, but again what do you care if it works for you, im sure you will know if ISP someday knocking at your door to reduce wifi router that broadcast its crap in the wifi.

take note what i said then all do this, then its a problem. im sure you understand it if its flat/adpartment then all have 2 wifi router or more per household.

4 rooms in flat that mean 3-4 wifi network, this is a nighmare in itself. ( also increasing wifi issue thrn a wifi router dont work, but as i said, you need to be skill to know the many wifi issue. evern i dont keep my eye on it, because, of the downside with wifi

Have you tried a wifi extender?

[Iceira]

just like NX machine point out, so many ways to explan this.

and many forget cable between the 2 wifi routers is also reduce lag, so its only router to pc wifi and back through the cable, its simple the you see it , dont do wifi to other wifi router, if you can avoid it.

Dont forget steam own threads

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/

they might know , or you need to recheck every step, what if you made a mistake somewhere, that included driver check and other things that can interference with QoS or network management that screw this up. ( sorry my words on things that try level out bandwide and then harm user for not knowing. )

Open the performance monitor, see what it reads. We'll optimize from there.
