I recommend trying out Sunshine/Moonlight for remote play in home. I’m using it to play games on the couch on my TV, streamed from my computer. It’s working very well so far, I’m quite impressed with the technology.
I’m not sure 5-10x bandwidth would necessarily improve on this situation for me, as there’s a high risk of network congestion becoming the bottleneck here. The latencies I’m getting (about 2-3ms I believe) coupled with the quality (1080@60fps, 22mbps) is more than sufficient for my purposes
Sunshine/Moonlight is really good.
Funny thing is once I started using it for that I found myself using it a lot more for a quick remote desktop setup. They both are available in flatpaks making it really easy.
I’m crying in max. 100Mbit power line
if you have coax you can look into using MoCA adapters. Quite a bit faster than powerline but you do need to add a filter to the incoming cable line (if it’s connected and you can actually get to it) so your data doesn’t get blasted outside your residence
We can set Bitrate manually between 100 and 500. The target is about 200mbits, so 100 would be the lowest possible value and quality. And if that is the max your entire line can give, then it’s probably not a good fit for your setup. That’s a bit unfortunate, but at least you can still use any regular codecs like AV1 or HEVC in example.
Just for clarity’s sake, while it’s possible that Pyrowave streaming could cause service interruptions for other people on your LAN (and thus isn’t suitable for high-traffic networks like at a company or large business), it is strictly intended to be used over your local network, not the Internet. As a result, your internet connection doesn’t matter at all, so if you were worried about ripping through your data allotment on a metered connection, there’s no need for alarm; all of the data sent is between devices on your network. Even the over-200 megabits-per-second of Pyrowave is peanuts compared to the tens of gigabytes per second your graphics card is sending to your display via DisplayPort or HDMI, after all.
Your internet shouldn’t matter, so long as you aren’t using that power line to connect all the computers in your house.
You can use a power line without internet connection. It’s just an alternative way to connect to the router, if you cannot use cables (Ethernet) or wireless (WLAN) connection. Edit: A random article comparing those 3 types: https://www.fatlemon.co.uk/2025/06/lan-speed-record-wi-fi-vs-powerline-vs-ethernet/
Sounds like they are talking about using a power line extender, which would limit their internal network.
