Streaming from my home computer to my Steamdeck is flawless. I can boot up a recent game on my deck via streaming and it runs fine. There's basically no latency and everything runs smoothly. I first tested with a wired connection to my network, but followed it up with a test while only connected to Wi-Fi and I couldn't tell the difference.

I'm trying to use my Steam Link again. I've set it up in my bedroom and connected it into my network via a 1 gig switch. For a while I was getting about 1 fame per 5 seconds, but the problem seems to have shifted to a glitchy mess where it will shift back and forth between Steam Big Picture Mode and whatever game I'm trying to run about 1-2 times per second. I tried factory resetting my Steam Link and patched it back up to build 924, but that didn't change anything.

Is the Steamdeck just more powerful and the Steam Link has outlived its usefulness, or is there some setting I'm missing that can fix my issues with the Steam Link?

Is there an equivalent of ConHam?

Normal calling frequency: 146.520 MHz
ConHam: 146.580 MHz

I might have some more, but that's the big one for me right now.
