Fixing WiFi Problems on OLED While Streaming Games

-

I’ve been having some frustrating WiFi issues while streaming games on my OLED. When I’m using Moonlight, the connection gets really unstable, and I often have to toggle the WiFi off and on every few minutes to prevent a low bandwidth error. It works perfectly right after that, but it’s becoming a hassle. Does anyone know a solid fix for this?

I experienced a similar issue, and what worked for me was actually a factory reset of the OLED. It was a hassle, but after that, my streaming was smooth and lag-free.

That sucks! Did toggling the WiFi help you at all before you did the reset?

One suggestion I came across is to check your console settings. If you enable dev mode, you should be able to turn off WiFi power management. That might stabilize your connection while streaming.

I tried that, but it didn’t help. Any other ideas?
