    Well folks, after all the talk I eventually took the plunge and signed up for Google Stadia.

    Ordered the controller and the chromecast ultra and rooted out a spare ethernet cable that I could stick into the plug so I wouldn't have any lag issues.

    But...

    The feckin ultra plug doesn't come with a ethernet socket despite everything I'd read so my experience has been, well, sh1te to say the least.

    For context I'm on Virgin fiber.

    Do any stadia users have similar issues with lag or is there some trick I'm missing to resolve it as I'm force3d to use WiFi.

    The black Chrome cast ultra has the internet port on the power socket rather than the device so might be easy to miss it. The white Chromecast with Google TV doesn't.


    But WiFi works great with it. Just make sure you are on the 5G. I'm not sure how virgin's router works but most let you set 2.4 and 5g.


    If you have any other device you can try? You can play stadia in any chrome browser so if there is a pc plugged in, or even on your phone.

    Yeah the lads on the stadia thread told me to switch to the 5ghz from the 2.4,a massive difference since with virtually no dropped frames or lag.

    It does suffer when the other folks in the house hop on the wifi though so there is an ethernet adapter that I'm going to probably pick up
