Slow connection, reduce bitrate

I've been spending all morning to try and fix this error and now I'm at a complete loss.

My computer is wired through strong ethernet (1gb/s but normal uses 600-800 mb/s and my TV (Philips oled, running on android TV) is running very well on Wifi under other circumstances like streaming 4K videos through Netflix for example.

I learned that my ISP does not offer the option to connect both within the local network and I tried fixing that with the ZeroTier one option following the troubleshooting. It does seem to work a little bit, I've managed to mirror the pc screen, but I am still mostly getting a black screen saying my connection to pc is slow and to lower the bit rate.

I am using Apollo on my pc and can switch to Sunshine if that would make a difference, but otherwise I'm unsure what to do at this point.

Edit: I don't know if this was the only thing but I switched to Vibepollo and everything works fine now. I might even try and upscale the connection for sharper image. Even online games have no lag.

Shoutout to all the helpful advice for not so tech savvy people like me

I had an awful experience running Artemis on my TV, can you plug an Ethernet cable into the TV and see if that fixes it? And what do you mean your isp doesn’t allow LAN connection?

I don't have the option for an ethernet cable in my TV unfortunately, I don't have any more ports. Where I live the ISPs have their own routers and don't really allow people to change to their own. I ran a troubleshooting app saying that the issue was with needing a private ipv4 network and that most ISPs will do that if you ask. Mine charges extra for that and then I'm not so interested anymore because it's almost as expensive as my current network.

I'll edit my post in case someone searches for a similar issue.

I moved from Apollo to Vibepollo and it now works fine. That seems to have been the last step, now I can try and see how far I can push it
