Stadia Breaks my Wireless Network Adapter

Hey all,

 

For the past two days, I've wrestled with Stadia on Chrome.  On my Lenovo Yoga laptop, whenever I try launching Stadia from Chrome things go REAL bad.  If a game launches, it's unplayable, and most of the time the Stadia home menu barely runs.  After that, my internet on the laptop tanks.  I go from 40-50 Mbps down to 1 or less Mbps until I reset the network adapter, or restart Windows (usually the path of least resistance).

 

The kicker, and reason I KNOW the wireless adapter is being weird; I plugged a USB to ethernet adapter into my laptop.  Got 100Mbps with the Google speed test.  Stadia ran... well not perfect, but it at least ran that way.  I as able to play through the Forsaken City in Celeste, so it works (Immortals Fenyx Rising was still literally unplayable, but baby steps).

 

All drivers up-to-date, Windows up-to-date, I updated (then clean installed) Chrome, hardware acceleration on or off didn't matter, no extensions, Javascript enabled, QoS on my router is off, 2.4 or 5ghz on the router didn't help, Windows optimized for performance (no screen transitions or whatever), all unused programs uninstalled, all drives defragged, no malware.  No clue where to try next.

 

Lenovo Yoga 2 11

Wifi Adapter: Qualcomm Atheros AR956x driver 10.0.0.341

 

Help my Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

If everything else works on your PC, and it's ONLY when accessing Stadia in a browser (tried another browser?). Then you might not be able to play.

You might not meet the requirements?

  • Memory:4 GB
  • Graphics Card:Intel HD 3000
  • CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
  • Google Stadia File Size:1 GB
  • OS:Windows 7 and higher

Worst case scenario.

Might also be that wificard is to slow? Or HDD...

Almost all the hardware of the Lenovo Yoga 2should be able to run Stadia, but....

Does your WiFi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x) let you connect to a WiFi 5Ghz network?
A quick search online let me believe it is only capable of connecting to 2.4 Ghz networks.

It could have a 5400rpm hard drive as storage solution, which is not fast, but should do just fine.
