Moonlight / Steam Link
Home streaming still needs a clean path.
Moonlight and Steam Link depend on both sides: host machine load, network path, Mac Wi-Fi behavior, display settings and local background activity.
Useful checks
- Use Ethernet on the host PC or console first.
- Keep the Mac on a strong 5 GHz/6 GHz signal or use Ethernet.
- Watch for AWDL/AirDrop/Handoff interruptions on Wi-Fi.
- Reduce stream bitrate/resolution while testing stability.
- Check the host load separately from the Mac receiving the stream.
Where CloudBoost helps
CloudBoost helps with the Mac receiving side: local pressure, AWDL/Wi-Fi behavior, background traffic signals, jitter and support-ready reports.
