The Google TV Streamer runs Android and can be used for gaming. However, I tried using it for gaming, and it did not go well at all.

    I use mine with SteamLink and it’s flawless over wifi and even better wired, it honestly doesn’t feel like there’s any lag even at 4k. Moonlight/sunshine is similar performance

    I had an actual steam link, a GoogleTV and a Nvidia Shield Pro, and none of them could stream consistently enough to be playable on anything that wasn’t extremely laid back.

    Then I upgraded from 5ghz to 6E and… It’s way way way better. Most of the devices aren’t even 6E compatible, so I assume the issue was with either my desktop (which is 6E) or just my Nest wifi setup in general.

        Lmao, yeah, I live in an apartment and it would have just been wires all over the place, which my wife does not condone
