Had a link in college, it worked perfectly on our 5GHz network and let anyone play their PC games in the living room. Many hours of Ultimate Chicken Horse were played!

You gotta either hardwire it with ethernet cables or set it to run on dedicated wifi channels to get a good stream quality, though, and it’s better suited for turn-based games.

I really like the steam link in theory, but I had too much trouble getting a reliably good picture quality through it.
I used Google Stadia for awhile before it died, and it had better video quality when streaming games over the internet to a wifi connected chromecast. I even ran ethernet drops through my house to get my PC>router>Steam link connections hardwired, and it still had worse streaming quality than Stadia.
