LeGo + Moonlight = Slow Connection, despite not happening on Windows with identical settings
Hi,
I’ve got a Sunshine host that I use to stream games around the house, using Moonlight as a client.
Yesterday for the first time I tried using the LeGo with Bazzite to stream games using moonlight, and unfortunately I’m facing issues.
No matter the settings , it will recurrently display a “slow connection, drop your bitrate” message. It seemed to be reasonably regular , every couple of minutes.
This is regardless of settings, so , whether it’s - 4k80mbps stream, or a 720p10mbps stream.
I know for a fact that it’s an OS issue as, if I boot into Windows on the LeGo, I can stream at very high res/bitrate without ever encountering the problem.
Same for the Steam Deck, same settings, never a warning message.
So the issue is localised to the LeGo with Bazzite.
At first I thought it might have been Linux’s infamous WiFi Power Management, so I turned that off from the Developer tools, but alas, it didn’t make a difference.
To try to rule out any performance issue, I’ve set the TDP to 20w with the CPU in Performance mode (again , to no avail).
Does anyone know what could it be, and if it can be fixed?
Thanks

I’ve found the solution to the problem, for whomever might be in my situation in the future.
The issue is WiFi scanning happening regularly, that seems to dramatically hamper any live streaming.
To circumvent it, I’ve added the BSSID to my WiFi connection....

To circumvent it, I’ve added the BSSID to my WiFi connection.
Doing so, it seems it won’t keep scanning for the SSID, and it will just connect using the BSSID, circumventing the issue.
I have no idea why this is not a problem on Windows , but , it solves it on Linux , now it’s smooth as butter, and zero drops of “slow connections”.
