    This is true, but if you want 120Hz Steam Link on your TV, it’s usually the only way to achieve that.

      I would guess theres a way to create a VLAN that blocks internet access but allows local traffic. Though you would need more advanced networking equipment and knowhow to do it.

      Or put Moonlight on a Raspberry Pi and hook it up to your TV for 1440p/144hz or 4K/60hz with sigbificantly less latency. Plus you won’t require an app on the TV

        What OS and remote are you going to use for that, though?

        FWIW, I get like, maybe 14ms latency with Steam Link and that’s just over WiFi, it’s shockingly usable.

        There’s something to be said about the convenience that off-the-shelf solutions provide over custom solutions, and that’s coming from someone who typically always opts for custom solutions.
