Xbox One to Windows 10 streaming quality

streamingxbox-one

Okay so a while ago I asked a question about how to stream Xbox One gameplay to a Windows 10 computer

Now there is an option to change the stream quality, although I'm wondering does the streams quality rely on your internet's connection speed i.e. upload/download or does it rely on your local area network speed i.e. how fast your hub/router can upload/download at

I'm unsure because I know your Xbox One and the Windows 10 PC have to be on the same network.

Streaming from an Xbox One to a Windows 10 PC will be heavily dependant on the quality of your local network, whether that be via ethernet or WiFi, and the quality of the experience will be largely down to latency.

The latency and quality of signal when using WiFi is dependant on the environment - that is, quality of walls, other WiFi networks in the same area, etc, so if you're having issues it might be worth re-testing with a wired connection.
