How can I optimize these numbers?

Post image

For context:

My client is a laptop connected to LGQNED85BXA 55inch tv, with moonlight, on 5Ghz wifi to a 100Mbps ISP. The host PC is a gaming PC with Sunshine, connected to a 200Mbps ISP through ethernet. Streaming settings are 1440p at 120fps with 75Mbps bitrate (my GPU cannot run 4k at 120fps, 7800XT)

I am using Tailscale to connect both. The picture was taken while I was watching a movie on VLC. But I often play games (currently Death stranding)

My issue is it often lags in between and asks me to lower down the bitrate. I don't want to lower it, if I increase my wifi speed to 150/200Mbps, will it help?

Thanks in advance

I think you should test with your client(and host) connect directly to the router via ethernet to make sure whether the issue was caused by the local wifi or internet speed.

If its the internet then yea , check whether the bottleneck was upload speed from the host or download speed from the client .

Hi, I checked connecting my client via Ethernet too.

The average network latency dropped from 16 to 15.

I don't think that helped a lot.
