Remote GameStream

GameStream allows you to stream games from your PC to your SHIELD outside of your local WiFi network.  Simply log into GeForce Experience and SHIELD Hub using the same NVIDIA account and take your SHIELD with you on the go.

NOTE NVIDIA recommends Internet bandwidth of 10 Mbps from your PC down to SHIELD and 2 Mbps from SHIELD up to your PC.  Your streaming experience may vary depending on the quality of your Internet.

NOTE Remote GameStream can be optimized by manually lowering your streaming bitrate for Wi-Fi . Doing this will reduce your image quality but may improve overall quality of service. Adjust the bitrate manually to find the sweet spot for your configuration. You can do this by accessing the Advanced GameStream menu in SHIELD Hub. Please refer to the Advanced GameStream Features section of this guide for more information.

If Remote GameStream does not work even after you have signed into GeForce Experience and Shield Hub, you may need to forward the following ports:

UDP: 47998, 4800, 47999, 48010

If Remote GameStream works, but Wake on LAN does not, try setting up port forwarding for UDP port 47998.

NOTE If you still have issues connecting to your PC directly, make sure your PC has Network discovery enabled. Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings and select ‘Turn on network discovery.'
