Steam Link

I have had a Steam Link for about 6 months now. I use it quite a bit even just for HTPC-type usage. Browsing the internet, watching YouTube videos, and streaming some sports games via the browser's webpage. They all work really well. When I first received the Steam Link I was not very happy with the performance/latency/fidelity of the stream and determined it was due to the WiFi's busy network. I run Ubiquiti...

Got this little thing a few days ago, along with the Steam Controller. Needless to say, this device worked exactly as advertised: a small device that allows you to stream and play your favorite PC games in 1080p/60FPS straight to your living room TV. Setup was relatively easy enough. I plugged in the A/C and HDMI cords to their respective ports and pressed the guide button on the Steam controller to start it up....

Love the steam link. Lets me play computer games on my big screen TV. Works great with the Steam Controller. Sad to see it discontinued.

Got it today and hooked it up as quickly as possible. Been looking forward to using the Link to play games on the TV without needing to haul my PC out to the TV or run a long HDMI cable to the TV. Played some NBA 2k16 and Mad Max and had very little lag over wifi or LAN. I planned on using wired connection but wanted to see how it would perform over my 802.11n network. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the...

Amazing and Works if your hardware is good and more up to date Pretty cool device, works as intended ! Ok a few warnings with this first!! If you have a old modem and a old router , 100% pass on this for the time being . Also if you dont have a good or simi new gfx card pass on this also till you upgrade. My old card couldnt run this and when i upgraded my card to a EVGA GTX 1050 TI it worked but would crash to...

1: Do not use Wifi, use a LAN connection. 2: This is not going to give you a replicated PC experience 3: Dont even bother trying to play online FPS with it, its really for single player FPS or Multiplayer games that dont need low latency to play. 4: Scale down Steam link to 720p for a better experience and reduced lag. 5: If cant handle 1 to 4, dont bother buying it as your expectations are out of whack. Connected...

Pros: + Very small, lightweight, and cheap + Extremely easy to set up - just plug it in and it starts up. Once it's on the network, it immediately found the Steam PC, and with one click (plus a security-confirmation on the PC), I was all set up! + Supports Steam Controller, PS3/PS4 controllers, and XBox One S controllers out of the box, wireless or wired. Also supports wireless XBox One and XBox 360 controllers if...
