I've just noticed something on my mobo specs:
" - PCIE x1 Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mb/s
- Realtek RTL8111E"

Does that mean lan is shared by pcie lane ?
That would most definitely explain why lan drops when playing a game! if so, it is a shitty design but very cheap fix.

I have this usb 10/100 card. I will first try with it

it just says its connected via one pci express lane (same as it would if you buy a pci express x1 gbit ethernet card). doesnt say anything about how its lane might be shared by any other component (you need to do some research to find that out)

If that was an issue, wouldn't that mean that any AIB that you install on your motherboard will be prone to issues when playing games? The implication being that all PCs are limited to just one PCIE device per motherboard...

Try downloading the latest driver from realtek's website

I also did that and it did not helped sadly as I don't like having pci card. But I don't have a window on my case so that's ok.

One and ONLY thing I've not tried is reinstalling windows. I was just too lazy. (even downloaded latest build with media creation tool).
But I did deleted all drivers and let windows reinstall/reinstalled new from realtek site.

I feel like that tp link card now gives me great ping.


Anyway... Now I need something to help stream movies or mirror screen to my old TV. it just have few hdmi ports... would chromecast or steamlink work ? Or does pc need to be wireless for that?
btw it's all in the same room. I just would have to put down 20 meters of hdmi cable to go around the room... and I would have to move furniture again and disassemble the floor masking again so nope Crying or Very sad
edit: Steamlink is 60% off right now

The devices just need to be on the same network - doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired.

As for which device, that would depend on your needs. Steam Link is pretty much simple desktop streaming. Stuff like Chromecast is more about providing content through apps and for movie streaming from PC you would probably use a DLNA server/app.

You will need some kind of a controller for Steam Link. Chromecast can work with your phone.

For possible issues and technical limitations you should look into reviews.

I've seen youtube videos of steamlink used for streaming. You can apparently just minimize big picture and use steam controller to navigate mirrored pc. That seems fantatic if it really works.

And right not bundle(link and controller) is 55 euro. That is only little pricier than chromecast2 here (which is bad ad mirroring desktop).
And who knows, maybe I would use steam controller for something else too
DLNA/SERVER would be the best but my tv does not support dlna. It's old 720p tv. I will get my old parents 1080p bravia soon but it also does not support dlna I think

I would prefer to use something like SteamLink myself, since I am quite used to using desktop on my TV and it seems like the simplest option to get everything working.

Also you don't necessarily need a Steam Controller. You can just use some others, like an Xbox controller or mouse and keyboard. Personally I love the Steam Controller and to me it's the best couch/TV device available, but not everyone feels the same way Very Happy

With DLNA I meant that you could use Chromecast as DLNA renderer to watch movies with it on your TV.

steam controller works out of the box as mouse/keyboard replacement. even 360 controllers work fine, but need additional software

Ordered link+controller. 68 euro with shipping included so not bad.
If it won't work for movies, I should still have plenty of use for it
