Xbox One Streaming To Pc

[DK_BLEU]

Hello, I am getting a new graphics card and I plan to use hdmi on my monitor. My xbox one also uses hdmi and I plan to stream my xbox one to my pc but there is too much lag for it to be playable. I am using wifi because the modem and router are unable to be in my room due to my room having no coaxel port in the wall. So my question is, can I plug an ethernet cable from my computer into my xbox one and have better stream quality? I don't plan to share the connection because the wifi card in my pc is too slow. Thoughts/ideas?

To get the lowest input lag possible, it is best to have your PC and Xbox connected to an ethernet hub, therefore the connection is local and it doesn't have to use Internet Bandwidth as well.

(This works for me with my PS4 and I can confirm that input lag is minimal)

if you're going to use the pc to play he game I assume you're jot going to be using the pc for something else which brings up the question why not just play on the Xbox?

You can use a Powerline adapter

No, you don't have to! A hub can be plugged just into your PC and the Xbox and it will connect them together.

I would recommend getting an ethernet hub.... A local connection is better. If you use WiFi, then you are using an internet connection which will introduce lag....

no no no i am going to use a router but would my computer take wifi from my xbox or would my xbox take wifi from my pc?

i just need to wire my xbox to my pc to stream it and then keep the xbox connected to the wifi

Then just play on the Xbox when you feel like playing a game. I really wouldn't bother trying when one can simply power on the Xbox and play it. Even if it means changing the cable at the back it will be a better experience than streaming it.
