How to Stream With a Wired Connection
A cable to your router is steadier than Wi-Fi. How to plug in and check the difference.
The short answer
Plug a network cable from your PC to the router, turn Wi-Fi off, and run the upload speed test again to compare.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Open Connections and the Health check. They show what your PC and network can carry before you go live.
- Choose a picture quality that the check and the upload test agree on. A steady stream beats a sharp one that stalls.
- Turn on Record first so your recording is never missing a moment, and viewers see a smooth stream behind it.
- Keep the Lifeline on. When the connection weakens, the stream steps down to a smaller picture instead of freezing.
What to know first
Results depend on your PC and your connection. Streamdzy’s safety systems cover the most common failures, but no app can fix a connection that is down. Run the upload speed test to see your line first.
Questions
Is wired always better?
Usually steadier, because Wi-Fi can drop and change speed. Test both.
