2. Pair your PC and SHIELD normally on a local Wi-Fi connection (or Ethernet) using the instructions in the

GameStream section of this guide.

3. Take your SHIELD with you on the go and connect it to a robust Wi-Fi connection. When you open the “MY PC

GAMES” menu in SHIELD Hub, launch a game from the list of available games to initiate a connection to your

remote PC. Your SHIELD will automatically look for your PC and connect using the current internet connection.

NOTE You can find out more information about port forwarding for your specific router at

http://portforward.com/

NOTE NVIDIA recommends Internet bandwidth of 10Mbps from your PC down to SHIELD tablet and 2Mbps

from SHIELD tablet up to your PC. Streaming experience may vary depending on the quality of your

Internet. For the best experience, connect SHIELD tablet to a 5Ghz router while streaming remotely.

NOTE Remote GameStream can be optimized by manually lowering your streaming bitrate for Wi-Fi . Doing this

will reduce your image quality but will reduce latency. Adjust the bitrate manually to find the sweet spot

for your configuration. You can do this by accessing the Advanced GameStream menu in SHIELD Hub.

Please refer to the Advanced GameStream Features section of this guide for more information.
