So with the first round of Steam Links out yesterday and the next round coming in around a month's time I'd like to discuss a few details about this. Essentially, we're looking at "home requirements". Most people have system requirements, now we got home requirements to deal with! Yay technology!
Essentially, I'd like to know how much bandwidth it takes to stream 1080p60fps through your home network in a Steam In-Home Streaming situation in order to maintain 1080p60fps fluid. Anyone who has used Steam In-Home Streaming is free to comment, as I've never used the system before.
I currently have Verizon FIOS in around a 60-75 mbps download/upload (via Speedtest.net) on what'll be the host desktop running through this Verizon router via Cat5e Ethernet, and the Steam Link in my particular setup can be connected both in a wired connection or a wireless connection (wireless is preferred, but if I need to I'll plug in wired Cat5e ethernet). I'd like to know from others' experience regarding Steam In-Home Streaming whether my router can handle the bandwidth and if I need to make any upgrades prior to the Steam Link purchase.
