1. Probably wont be a next time
2. I always use ethernet. I even made a bridge with a 2nd router so I wouldnt have to use WiFi with my Xbone. I have degrees in networking and computers. Trust me, i know to use ethernet.
But thanks for trying again, friend!

I'm confused. A bridge is still WiFi....
It's when you take a wifi adapter and have it talk wirelessly to another WiFi adapter. A bridge normally adds about 30-50ms of lag, as well as causes random packet loss/ lag spikes due to the wireless nature.
Things such as Netflix use a dynamic buffering system and seem lossless. Things such as CoD/Halo MCC multiplayer/ downloads are rendering locally and often use a predictive technology to compensate for lag and packetloss.
PS Now on the other hand uses a combination of TCP/UDP to stream you the service. They do dynamic resolution scaling based on your current bandwidth and seem to use a form of TCP for the input. If your packet gets lost along the way -- the recieving end will request it again.. .and again... and again until its actually recieved. All packets in a chain must be recieved before the packets are dissasembled.
WiFi causes packet loss. Using an ethernet cable close to electrical cables causes packet loss. Having a bad connector on your ethernet causes packet loss. Overloading your router with too much data -- causes packet loss. It sounds to me based on your "experience" that your network isn't optimal.

Regardless of what your confusion as to what a bridge may or may not be (protip: doesn't have to be WiFi, all that matters is that it's on the same network), my PS4 is wired directly into my main router, so it's irrelevant. I sincerely hope that helps, sorry that my negative experience with PS Now affects you so. Not going to discuss it any further.

If you run an ethernet cable between routers... the second router acts as a switch.
Thats not a bridge.
A bridge is 2 separate wireless devices used to span the wireless gap.
