Question / Help Dropping Frames (And I Read The Stickie)

Read the sticky above, but I still think I should be fine. No matter what bitrate I choose (2250-3500), or what stream res I output (as low as 240), I still drop 40-50% of my frames. I've switched servers as well.

The problem could be that you're using W-LAN.

Interface: TP-LINK 450Mbps Wireless N Adapter (802.11, 216 mbps)

Stop trying to stream over wifi. It's not designed for constant, stable throughput, like is required to livestream. Suck it up and run a wire. Wifi is there for light-use mobile devices, not to allow lazy people to avoid running wires.

After that if you're still dropping frames, you'll need to lower your bitrate even further until it stops. Remember, you are NOT GUARANTEED to get the throughput your ISP tells you that you should be getting.
