Moonlight bandwidth glitch

Hello lovely Bazzite people. Hoping someone can advise. Bazzite working brilliantly on my Legion Go. I like to use Moonlight streaming but every 3 or 4 minutes, I get massive lag for a few seconds, moonlight pops up saying I should lower bandwidth l, but after a few seconds it goes back to normal. Happens over and over again. Doesn’t do this with other hardware or even on the Windows partition of my device. I’m wondering if Bazzite is doing some sort of polling or background activity that causes this regular slowdown? Thanks

So. What id do is check your dmesg. sudo dmesg -H on the streaming host or reciever. I had this issue on base fedora and dmesg was full of logs that said it was connecting to a different access point with a different Mac address. If you see that on either your legion or your streaming PC you'll need to set your bssid to one of those Mac addresses to stop your device from jumping between antennas on your router.

if you're not seeing that its likely not the same problem but, it seems like pretty normal behavior if you have a fancy ish router with multiple antenna.
