Hello recently bought a 2008 mac pro and installed windows bootcamp onto it so that I can switch between windows 7 and osx mavericks whenever I want. I installed a PC GTX 680 into it which works like a dream.
I installed Geforce experience and optimized all my games.
When I go into the compatability list it says I have all the pre requisites to stream a game.
I the turn on the shield, it recognises all my games and when I choose one it loads on my PC straight away.
Unfortunatly as soon as game starts it's a stuttery mess and usually shuts down saying "cannot connect to PC"
Very odd. Went into my windows firewall settings but all nvidia game streaming stuff is ticked.
Currently here are my specs
Mac pro 2008 3.1 eight core xeon 2.8ghz cpu
KFA2 GTX 680 2gb DDR5 gpu Nvidia Driver 337.50
10GB DDR2 memory
SKY HUB router (new white one) model Wireless N
Nvidia Shield fully updated.
Not sure where problem is...
I'm having the same issues with my PC and a GTX770.
It's the connection.
I plugged a wifi stick in, set it up as ad-hoc, enabled the gaming/multimedia environment driver flag, disabled powersaving and now it's all fine.

Blimey sounds elaborate. I have disabled power saving in windows already in the power plan settings. how do you enable the gaming/multimedia environment driver flag?
go into the device manager, choose your wifi adapter -> properties, the flags should be there in the advance tab but it depends on your driver.

Ah I see. Assuming it's under network adapters there is a driver but no option for multimedia/gaming to be enabled which is a shame. Might have look into wifi dongles then (
Ok so I disabled the wireless airport mini card via control panel/network connections
I then plugged in the TP-Link USB wifi dongle. Connected to the internet (works fine).
I then started gamestream and tried to play several games. BORDERLANDS 2 and Max Payne 3. Both were stuttery messes that kept shutting down.
I then loaded up Skyrim and for some odd reason the graphic settings were all stupidly low but it seemed to run fine then?!
Very odd. Any ideas on what the problem is. I can stream my Vita onto PS4 via my router with no issues whatsoever but the shiled is a juddery, crashy mess.
I also have an Alienware M17X R3 with a 680M card installed. I tested it out on that and it seems much smoother. Doesn't shut down on start up and is reasonable. still slightly stuttery but not game breaking.
You need wireless G at the very minimum to stream games. It is similar to playing a LAN game over wireless and you get lag and your player skips around. It is the same concept streaming the game as you are actually playing on the PC but viewing the video feed and controlling it from the Shield. A butt load of data is going back and fourth. Really it would not hurt to have wireless N if you do not.
I have wireless N router and bot the dongle, airport extreme card and the netgear have wireless N.
N is fine, theyre backward compatible to both G and B.
u sure you updated both nvidia driver and GeForce Experience?
otherwise I can just think that there is another wifi network that is interrupting yours.

Was wondering the same thing so I attached an ethernet cable from the mac to the router to get as honest a signal as possible. It seemed to work a bit better, played max payne 3 for about 10 minutes before it started to stutter and crash again. Very odd, might be CPU or even the router but cannot tell at this moment in time.
My mac is about 2 1/2 metres away from the router with no walls between them s
Is there a way to directly stream from PC to shield without need to go through router to check?
Here's the router I'm using. It should be good enough!

Key Features: 802.11bgn 2.4GHz WiFi; Integrated DSL modem; 4x 10/100 Ethernet ports; WEP, WPA/WPA2 & WPS security
Manufacturer: Sky

Been looking into replacing it with the newer Sky hub SR102 router. Here are it's specs, seem pretty much the same except it's a little bit more ready for fibre optic broadband
Wireless:
• 2.4GHz 802.11n standard, backwards compatible with 802.11 b/g standards
• 2×2 MIMO with internal antennas, 144Mbps maximum data transmission rate
• Smart Signal Selection – automatically and dynamically selects optimum wireless channel
• Wi-Fi Alliance certified
Ok I bought an Asus DSL N66U which has dual band 2.4ghz and 5ghz signals. Its maximum is 450Mbps but it's still stuttery and poor signal. The nvidia shield cuts out after a little while. Am wondering where the problem is. It can't be the router!
Ok so this is a thing...
Theres an advanced settings option on the Nvidia Shield for gamestream settings. It can allow you to adjust the max FPS 60 or 30, and the bit rate. There are two options - one for wifi and the other for ethernet connections. I changed FPS to 30 and it's much smoother now.
If you have stutter issues it may help

So I've got the TF connected to my 802.11n router (Conceptronic, C300BRS4 if it matters) and the tab reports a link speed of approx. 65-70Mb/s (found from Wi-Fi settings > tap on access point).
I've been trying to get a proper network video streaming setup to work from my desktop (hooked up to the same router at a standard 100Mb/s ethernet) but I can't get anything to stream smoothly without pauses. I'm using Plex, but I've tried a few others with similar results.
What speeds are you getting? Is there anything I can do to improve streaming over my home network?
Thanks!
Plex works fine for me, no pauses whatsoever. I'm on an 8mb/s line with a gigabit router and computer.
What kind of file are you trying to stream? Pretty sure the better the computer the more smooth it would be.
I can't seem to see what speed its transferring on my tf. Can you explain exactly what to press.
The PC is a relatively modern quad core, 4GB RAM etc. When I use the transcode option in Plex the CPU usage hovers around 50-60%, so it's definitely not maxed out. I'm trying to stream regular old AVI files, nothing fancy. Haven't even bothered trying MKVs and HD stuff.
The router isn't a gigabit, it's one of the old 100Mb/s connections. Maybe the bottleneck is there?
As for the TF link speed, go to Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings > tap on the router you're connected to.
Quality: Excellent, Speed: 72Mbit/s
Hey Guys,
I'm having some issues on my Surface regarding internet and what seems to be throughput?
1) Remote Desktop Connections are extremely laggy unless I am really close to the router(s)
2) TeamViewer Connections are extremely laggy unless I am really close to the router(s)
3) Media Steaming of TV is really intermittent and stops working in under 5 mins, to get it started I have to close the app(s) and re-open them.
These problems do not exist on my Android devices nor do they exist on the laptops or notebooks, for example I can sit in the lounge on a laptop and connect via teamviewer or remote desktop connection to my computer with no lag what so ever; it's fluid and works perfectly but sitting in the exact same spot or even closer to the router with the surface I can't it to work nice... it's laggy and awful infact I'd say it's unusable.
Network is set up as followed:
Wireless/Wired Router
- Switch
- - Wireless AP/Repeater
- - Computer
- - Computer
- Computer
- Computer
- Computer
There are 5 smart phones connected, 2 notebooks, 2 laptops and 2 tablets connected to the WiFi network.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Thank in advance

****, your network is almost as mad as mine, so far I've had non of these issues you seem to be having, although I stream directly to my Xbox not to TV's or computers, but I do use my surface to stream from my NAS and then to my Xbox and there still is no lag, so I can't really come up with a good reason, other than transfer speeds through router or your surface can't cope.
Sorry for not helping at all

Well the true route of all my internet has way more devices connected, xbox, playstation, wii, another switch, skytv, and another 2 computers, when family come round like at Christmas there are like 30 wireless connections, id love to be able to visualize it all lol
I can't see anything wrong in my router settings :S
So I am looking for ways to improve the streaming from my wifi router to SHIELD. Is there a way to set up a direct router -> shield connection, bypassing the internet, like an ad-hoc network? Failing that, would it help to open any ports on the router for port forwarding? My current issue is I can play Deadpool and castle crashers through Steam big screen mode fine, until after a few minutes there is worse and worse controller lag. Seems to happen in other games as well. Video lag actually seems not to be the problem, although it could be related. I feel like maybe there is some setting in my router that is affecting performance
Here is my setup:
win 7 pro x64
nvidia GTX Titan
wired ethernet PC<->wifi router
dual band asus RT-N66 "dark knight" router running both 2.5 and 5 ghz bands on N only
So it's not a performance issue, and basic streaming works, but the controller lag makes some games unplayable. I have tried changing wifi channels. doesn't seem to help. Any ideas? Or is it mainly that these games aren't officially supported? much appreciated!

The streaming is already direct Shield > Router > Pc, no internet involvement as you mention, only wifi and an ethernet cable. Direct Shield to PC may be possible though in theory.
You can also connect a micro USB otg adaptor to the shield and connect a USB ethernet adaptor to that if you wish to plug into the wireless router via ethernet instead. But that probably wont change anything.
I just bought a WNDR4500 router and I need some help,
Here is my setup
PC connected to router via ethernet cable.
Shield connected to router via wifi.
There is no active internet connection becuse I use 3g for that stuff
My problem is splashtop does not show my pc how do i make it show my on my shield?
well is the splashtop server running on the PC?
yes, Splashtop THD now detects my pc, however splashtop personal does not detect it.
Also my link speed is only 300mbs. even though Iv chosen upto 450mbps, channel 40, and only 5ghz band is turned on.

I pretty sure 300 is the Shield's max connection. Im not sure about the splashtop thing. y not just use THD if works?
THD works amazingly well when hooked up to my 560m nvidia gpu or HD 4000 gpu laptop, the problem is if you want to play something like Metro last light you dont have enough keys to map since the the d-pad is pre locked to WASD along with left stick. Im not sure if they will add support for shield.
Hi.
I bought a Western Digital N900 (N750s are not available in my country) as recommended by some people in the GeForce forum since it apparently streams well but I always get disconnected from Limelight every 20-30 minutes. Frames start dropping and I'm kicked out. A quick reconnection fixes the issue for a while. I'm like 2 meters away from the router with no walls in between as I was testing it. So I'd like to ask for suggestions on how to improve the performance. If you don't count the getting kicked out, it's smooth.
Setup:
Router A with Internet is connected to PC through Wifi (In a different room and floor)
Router B (N900) is connected to PC through Ethernet (Only Shield and PC are connected).
N900 uses same SSID for 2.4 and 5 GHz
I have tried using different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz but issue remains.
N900 Smart QOS is on.
I used Wifi Analyzer and I picked the best channel for 2.4GHz and I'm the only one in the area with a 5GHz router.
5 GHz is set to 20/40 MHz Auto (There's no 40 MHz only).
Limelight (rooted) is set to 20 720P/60fps.
Shield is using latest update and rooted.
I've tried normal Gamestream but it's choppy due to 30 FPS and there are weird audio sounds at times.
Is there anything wrong with my setup? Any tips to fix my issue?
