Remote Control Your Home PC While Traveling

Take your Windows PC with you: open a link and control it with low latency in the browser.

TL;DR

For stable remote access: use wired network on the host, choose reasonable bitrate/FPS, and check NAT/ports first.

Host-side Tips

  • Prefer wired Ethernet to the router
  • Close bandwidth-hungry apps (downloaders/cloud sync)
  • Use a reasonable display resolution (start from 1080p)

Client-side Tips

  • Use 5GHz Wi‑Fi or stable mobile data
  • Start with 1080p/60 and 10–20Mbps
  • If stuttering, reduce bitrate first, then resolution/FPS

Recommended Settings (Starting Point)

Scenario Resolution FPS Bitrate
Safe 1280×720 60 8–12 Mbps
Quality-first 1920×1080 60 12–20 Mbps
Poor network 1280×720 30 4–8 Mbps

Troubleshooting Order (Can’t Connect / Unstable)

  1. Confirm the host is online and can generate link/QR code
  2. Try a different network (Wi‑Fi/4G/5G)
  3. Check NAT type and direct-connect conditions; learn relay options if needed
  4. If frequent disconnects: lower bitrate and resolution to rule out congestion from packet loss
