Trouble streaming over WiFi in LAN?

So i usually stream with an ethernet connection. But i also want to stream via WiFi so i can game in the garden. I have an access point outside my home mounted to the wall, roughly 10 meters away from where my laptop is. I have used a WiFi analyser and i am getting rougly 500Mbps bandwidth between my laptop and access point.

I have tried a variety of bitrates, resolutions and refresh rates but i am still getting heavy stuttering.

Any ideas or tips?

Could someone explain how Tailscale would work in this scenario

So i have 2 PCs, a high spec gaming PC and a basic laptop. They are both connected to the same LAN via ethernet most of the time and i use host and client programs to stream games from the gaming PC to the basic laptop. Simple enough.

But i want to be able to stream games over WAN using my iPhone as a mobile hotspot to my laptop when travelling. I am using Tailscale to connect the 2 PCs. Tested it, all is well.

Just a quick question, when my 2 PCs are connected via LAN does the traffic still go through Tailscales WAN or it is kept internal? Need to know this as i have 2.5gbe LAN adapters but only a 80Mbps WAN connection. So i need to set quality settings accordingly.
