Poor network performance via Chromebook

Hello, My Stadia works perfect via chromecast. I tried to play on my brand new Acer r13 Chromebook but no joy. I got an error message as per this first link; https://photos.app.goo.gl/EMCBbQow31aT1NQdA I've checked my connection via m-labs as per the google speed test search and the result i get is as per the following link; https://photos.app.goo.gl/u8u7kj6kry9JrCba9 For reference, i carried out the Stadia speed test and got the follow result; https://photos.app.goo.gl/8Pp5pXfVJmpg8Y2w5 Could you point me in the direction of where i'm going wrong please?

Hello @Ashkor3,

For me, @Ngoql pointed out the problem.

You know, receiving a 1080p / 4K Stream without buffering (E.G. : Twitch may be in live, but you have a 2-5 sc buffer in reality, Stadia need a 0sc buffer to prevent input lag) is something that impact your CPU and GPU aswell.

Chromebooks are not known to be powerfull laptops. And for me, this is the true cause of all of this.

Has anyone resolved this? I'm running a Lenovo C330 and I"m running into the same issue. I have forced Stadia to use H264 instead of VP9, and it still has connection issues. Makes no difference if I use WiFi or an Ethernet adapter. Yet it plays perfectly using my cell phone and my Chromecast with Google TV.
