Steam Link, whether in hardware or software form, supports the streaming of content from a personal computer running Steam to the video device (a connected television or monitor for the hardware unit, the mobile device's screen for the software version). Valve discontinued the Steam Link hardware device in November 2018, in favor of supporting its software-based Steam Link application for mobile devices and smart televisions, as well as providing Steam Link as a software package for the Raspberry Pi microcomputer. Steam Link was originally released as a hardware device alongside the debut of Steam Machines in November 2015. To troubleshoot, I decided to test with a 50ft ethernet cable going directly into the router and then to my apple tv, and I still have the same freezing problem when attempting to stream on any device.Steam Link is a hardware and software solution made by Valve Corporation for streaming Steam content from a personal computer or Steam Machine wirelessly to a mobile device or other monitor. This happens on all of the platforms mentioned above. If I restart the steam link app on my apple tv and retest the network connection, it is back at over 100mbps. If I test the network after this, it says I'm not getting over 3Mbps and I have a slow connection. The host PC shows the game and is working as normal. However, as soon as I start a game, I get the slow connection icon in the bottom right corner and steam link freezes 5-10 seconds after starting. When I go to start steam link, everything is fine, I can navigate the steam Big Picture interface. The Steam Link network test runs and it shows over 100mbps on Wi-Fi ( I have gig fiber). (i have also tried my iphone and Nvidia shield tube).

I am attempting to use Steam Link on my AppleTV 4K, 30ft away. Host Steam Computer is hooked directly to a google Nest Wi-Fi router.
