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!

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

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?
Actually my college internet blocks all online games. So I use Airtel mobile internet. I use usb tethering to connect to internet. While playing PUBG, It randomly shows Network lag detected. I play on Asia server. I have tried switching modes from phone info(*#*#4636#*#*) and also reset the apn settings, but nothing solves the issue. Has anyone faced this issue? Can you suggest a fix for this?
Anyone?? pls
This is a month old and found it while looking for pubg optimisations.
Assuming you are playing pubg (desktop version)
Online games require a good internet connection.
A good internet connection doesnt mean high speed only. You need faster PING. Mobile networks have slower pings compared to fiber/cable internet. So check your ping as it will change depending on signal strength,etc.
Its issue of connection not your phones fault.
PS: during your test you might see faster PING but when you are connecting to a game server that connection might have multiple hoops so you'll get slower ping than test servers( as they are designed to have less hoops and fast connection)
Hope this soothes the pain.
Did u try to use just VPN service?
@netgar: To make it worse? VPN usually takes more hops. So the ping is automatically higher. And I doubt, Airtel will route you worse than via VPN.
Same issue
i am also having the same issue
Hi,
I use an Android Headunit in my car, I only download updates when connected to my house wifi, and downloading the map updates takes forever. I'd love to be able to download on my laptop or phone, and then transfer to the car using a memory card.
Anyone have any ideas if this could be done?
Thanks
IMO download speed doesn't depend on device where data should get stored, but on Internet speed.
Download speed refers to how many megabits (Mbps) per second it takes your TomTom server to download data to your device.
If speed score is fast — around 100-200 Mbps — this indicates that your slow download speed has nothing to do with the Internet. If your speed score is low — below 100 Mbps — this could be an indication that the Internet may be the problem.
Keep in mind that your speeds vary depending on the number of users that are on your network at a time.
Thanks but, Laptop uses Wi-Fi 6 AX, to connect to router, Android Headunit Wi-Fi 5 AC and further from router. Additionally I think headunit is only 2.4Ghz connection as opposed to 5Ghz on laptop.
IMO you are confusing bandwidth and Internet speed.

I've been experiencing this issue for a while with my Samsung Fold4. I suspect the problem is some Android process is set to a low priority because of a power saving setting, but have no hard evidence, so am looking for suggestions on how to further debug.
What I have observed:
Locally on my phone while using its 4G connection:
1. Ping time to 8.8.8.8 is a consistent 18-20 ms.
Locally on my laptop while connected to my phone via wifi tethering:
1. Ping time to my phone is a consistent 8-10 ms.
2. Ping time to 8.8.8.8 (via my phone's 4G) as measured on my laptop is 20-30 ms about 80% of the time, but 20% of the time I get big spikes to 200-600 ms.
3. Ping time when run from my laptop, but measured on my (rooted) phone via tshark on both the tethered wifi device and 4G device is a consistent 18-20 ms.
Locally on my laptop while connected to my phone via USB tethering:
1. Ping time to my phone is a consistent 1 ms.
2. Ping time to 8.8.8.8 is a consistent 19-21 ms.
So it seems there is a random delay introduced by the tethered wifi device.
