Streaming issues on new MiniPC vs old Samsung TV App

[xxSlyViPeRxx]

Hi,
I've always used the Steam App on my Samsung TV to stream games from my main PC. For the most part it worked fine however I decided to invest in a MiniPC to replace the TV app. The MiniPC is a Beelink Mini-S12 Pro with Windows 11. I've installed Steam but the streaming process is very laggy and my games dont run as smoothly as they did with the app. I cant imagine the MiniPC is struggling as the main PC is doing all the hard work. Surely the MiniPC is more capable than my 5 year old Samsung TV.
I honestly thought streaming with my new MiniPC would have been straightforward but I've been struggling with it for a few hours now.
The paring process was seamless and easy but its just everything else. Big Picture feels very laggy and whenever I do manage to get into a game it feels sluggish. More often than not the game wont start and when I take a look at the main PC the game hasnt started properly. The Samsung TV app seems to take me straight to the game.
I suppose I could continue to use the app but my thinking is its very old now and not being supported or updated any more. Plus I wanted the MiniPC as I thought I would see an improvement in performance.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to return the MiniPC and get a Steam Link device.
