Buy a Steam Link and a raspberry pi, and two usb eth adapters, create a ZeroTier network and configure the pi (openwrt) to get internet from one of the adapters and share both the internet connection and the zerotier connection over the second adapter. Configure the zerotier network on your computer and set ul Steam In-House streaming. Then you can take the pi and steam link anywhere, plug a mouse, keyboard and screen, and use your computer. I get 60fps at 1080p and no noticeable input lag over the internet (work to home).

If you use a nvidia card enable "force composition pipeline". There is also a Steam Link app for Android, and ZT client as well, works great.



I'm intrigued, seems like a fun weekend project.

ZeroTier is to fool the Steam Link to work over the Internet, or to improve latency?

How are the (physical) connections made? I understand one of the Pi USB/ETH adapters needs to be connected to the internet and the other to the native ETH Steam Link, what about the native ETH Pi port?

Sorry for (probably obvious) questions.

EDIT: cleaned


Moonlight works really well on my Raspberry Pi 3 (with everything connected on ethernet) and is really easy to setup.

Pretty neat if you want to remotely use your PC on a TV

I haven't done any test using it on internet but it seems to be possible.

Do you need the Link? Couldn't you run Steam on the Pi?


Doesn't work, also the whole thing with Steam is that nvidia granted them access to their capture API


About band, the steamlink is capped at 100mbps and it still works great
