Have we figured out playing from work yet or what?!

OK... so months ago I asked for assistance with my works network... and Stadia just spinning on  "checking connection".  

My IT guys said they'd help get it going... they tried opening ports, nothing... they tried other nerdy things, nothing. 

... then the one IT guy threw his hands up and said, "HERE IS A NEW SSID, CONNECT TO IT, IT'S TOTALLY COMPLETELY OPEN... JUST LIKE AT HOME... SEE IF IT WORKS..." 

...it did not work. 

I mean, am I being unreasonable in wondering why this is so convolutedly complex?  ...when it should just work?!   We have GB down and 500MB up.   We are blazing fast at the office, totally open network... nothing. 

I have not checked in with you guys in a few months... thought I'd see if any head way has been made. 

...the staff want to game!  We want to let them!

From you're post, you've clearly done everything you can on the networking side of things. Have you ensured your computer isn't having any issues?

Here is the support page for troubleshooting. Besides that, try disabling extensions and experimenting with different computers on the same network to see if Stadia runs.

1.5 months later.... nothing!    Playstations, Nintendos, and Xboxs all work fine on the company network.   That's a shame.  

The IT guys here said it's got to be by design that this does not work.   Oh well... there goes a good idea.  Back to trustworthy consoles!

My work laptop.  I use Stadia on it at home with Zero issue.  Mobile is the same - I tested it (works at home, not at work). 

 

...THIS IS A NETWORKING ISSUE THAT GOOGLE KNOWS ABOUT.  THEY CHOOSE NOT TO FIX.

Google - Can you please tell us what's going on with this please?!   Seems like you guys are purposefully blocking from commercial routers...  Why?!  When are you going to stop this?   Thanks.

Any update on this?  

Still nothing at work... "checking connection" loop.   At home with my laptop and mobile phone they work 100%;  in the office the same devices are useless. 

I was going to load up on games to play at lunch and whatnot... looking forward to Cyberpunk on Stadia... but the whole point of Stadia is its mobility/convenience.  If i can only play this at home, I'll just continue to buy games on trusted and working systems.  

What a shame.
