iPad streaming media/audio stutters.

I have been using Moonlight/Sunshine to stream from my PC to my iPad Air with no issue for 2 months. But yesterday for seemingly no reason I started getting these weird media lags.

The moment my iPad connects with Moonlight, the media/videos/twitch streams on my PC just stop and stutter the entire time it's connected. The audio also turns into an almost underwater constant stutter. The video gives you an idea of what it sounds like.

I've read a few different threads and checked on their discord, but no luck. I've tried

Turning off Bluetooth.

Turning off location.

Turning off airdrop.

Updating and rolling back Sunshine.

Rebooting.

Going into my router and changing the wifi channel to 149.

Nothing has worked for me.

Is there some kind of fix that I'm overlooking?

I don't understand the sudden change.

Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks. :(

If you have a MacBook shared to the same Apple ID make sure it’s turned off.

I don't own a MacBook atm but thank you for the tip either way.

If you have an iPhone maybe try and turn off the Handoff feature on both devices.

Set your 5ghz wifi channel to 149 or 44. In iPad wifi settings, set 6E mode to off.

I'll try this method again, hopefully it works out. Maybe it's a separate fault in the router, but I'll keep troubleshooting.
