Hi 

 

I am a home user without technical knowledge. I have been streaming my PC (with NVIDIA card) to my laptop or TV using the Moonlight for 3 years now - with all LAN cables connected via my router TP-Link Archer C9. Everything is working fine in this connection. However I ran out of LAN ports on my router so I bought a switch - TP-Link SG-108E. When I connect my devices through the switch and try to run the stream I get a black screen and message that the connection is slow. When I connect my LAN cables directy to the router everything works fine. Do you have any idea why it is not working? In the setting of my switch I don't see anything that could block the connection, but I am not a specialist, please help.

 

PS. Maybe some hint, I don't know - when I stream through my router I see 5 ports in the port forwarding settings UPnP named as Game Stream. I don't see such setting in the switch

I found option that makes it work - when I turn on the "Flow Control" on all ports everything works fine 

 

From documentation "Allows you to On/Off the Flow Control feature. When “On” is selected, the switch can synchronize the speed with its peer to avoid the packet loss caused by congestion."
