Re: Pairing controller to CCU potential fix

You may have some luck hard resetting the controller. You can do this by pressing and holding the Google Assistant and Capture buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds, until the controller vibrates. Then try the setup again afterward. Appreciate the tip for those that need it though!

If you hard reset the controller, by holding the Google Assistant and Capture buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds until the controller vibrates, you can then repair it to your WiFi in the app. When Stadia asks you to connect to WiFi, click the three dots and you will have the option to show the MAC address.

If you need the IP address, your best bet is with either by seeing what device appears on your network when you connect it, or using an app like Fing to try and figure out which device it is.

Re: Bandwidth Cellphone on Wireless Network Connection

It depends a lot on the specifics.

If by 'Wireless Network Connection' you mean regular WiFi, Stadia will try to stream at the best quality possible, so could hypothetically use the whole 20 GB/h if you had a 4k phone.

However, if you mean a metered, pay per usage style network, like a 3G/4G/5G plan that you may have with your carrier, Stadia will only stream up to that 720p, 2.7GB/hr level. However, Stadia can only do this if it knows you are on a metered network. You can tell when Stadia knows this, when the usual Play button looks like this

Depending on your phone manufacturer, most devices can set WiFi networks to be treated like metered ones, if this is something you are looking for.
