Cannot play unless connected to VPN.

Jump to Best Response
Stadia is the only service i have ever been blocked by. i normally have a 40mb connection which is more than enough for what i want out of this right now. what i find funny is that i am able to run the speed test but when i try to play any game it just says connection not strong enough. but as soon as i VPN it starts right up but it's ruined cuz VPN's are laggy as heck. if anybody has ideas please let me know. Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 using AT&T wireless Unlimited from a 3rd party site no data cap.

@Mileskg21 Google actually doesn't support playing Stadia on cellular internet connections. That's probably why it was blocking by default. You can learn more about it from the following help page

Bandwidth, data usage, and stream quality

@Mileskg21 What kind of network situation are you in (office/work/org)? Maybe your network administrator is restricting it? Can you share a screenshot of the issue when you're trying to launch a game?

@Mileskg21 By at&t wireless, do you mean a plan for mobile phone/devices?

@Ivan Yes. i am using https://www.otrmobile.com/ for my service. i have always been able to use programs like Steam, Xbox Live, Origin and Uplay with no problem but for some reason Google doesn't like me. I have also completed the Stadia Speedtest multiple times with no problems there.
