Thanks for the reply this is what I was looking for. I live in a single unit house and my pc is connected via Cat6 Ethernet to my high end wifi 5 router which is no more than 5 meters away from where I game with my steam deck or my TV. So basically I would not experience any improvement.

Do you have any explanation as to why there is latency? It is very subtle both on the deck and tv using remote play. When looking at my pc screen when in remote play the controller input is instant (no latency) but on the remote play screen there is that ever so slight delay.

Now the question that remains is what about in practice. :D I am not even sure if the majority of the latency of remote play is coming from the transfer of data over lan and WiFi. I think it’s the compressing and uncompressing of the feed (I believe that is going on right?)

Thanks I’ll give it a go. Remote play is just very convenient. My latency isn’t horrible but noticeable.
