Stadia on Chromecast Ultra, Nvidia Shield TV both have stuttering on many games

I have trouble playing Watchdogs 2 with random stuttering causing the game to completely stall, typically happens at the worst time (while fighting or trying to evade) It has problems in cut scenes where it is loading a level in the background and the cut scene will start stuttering while it is trying to load. Other action games have some issues also with stalling/stuttering. Games like little Nightmares II have no discernable issues.

My wifi internet download speed on the TV with Stadia is 170mbs, upload 30mbs. Right at source of internet, Wifi download is 270mbs+, wired is 480mbs. I have EERO 6 internet and am about 25 feet from the main hub but have a beacon within sight of the main wireless hub. I can stream all the 4k TV I want with no issues. the beacon is an older Eero 5 pro - this is the only Eero 5 beacon used b/c it has a direct network connection for testing and have used it wired or wireless. Either way is the same speed as wireless. I have tried removing  the beacon and allowed connection to the main hub. The main difference is the download speed drops down about 50%, same issues however. Using Eero 6 beacon did not make any discernable difference.

I thought perhaps it is the chromecast having an issue. So I brought in ShieldTV from another room, installed Stadia on it and have the same stuttering problems (randomly), primarily in any heavy action game.

I have reduced the picture resolution to 1080p. This does not really do much. I am running on the 5gz network connection. I do not believe the network channel is congested - 4k Netflix or Amazon on the same TV has zero issues with buffering or stuttering. I have the chromecast set on the Eero as a media streamer. I have also tried it as a game console and did not notice any difference.

IPv6 is on

UPnP on

Band steering is on

Thread is off

Any help is appreciated. Testing the wifi quality right at the spot with my laptop shows no detectable internet issues. The TV is LG 55 inch nanocell LED 4k UHD, 120mhz tv.

Hi @Mucko 

Did you see any changes on stuttering when change the quality of the session? Changing to 720?

This looks like an issue on the provider than Stadia. I recommend you to check this guide: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9595943?hl=en-GB

I know I'm late to the party on this; but I have both models of the Shield TV (2019) and had this same exact issue. I turned off AI-Upscaling and it resolved my issue for both devices.
