I’m frequently away from home, and getting back takes at least an hour. Assume the café Wi-Fi provides a stable connection of 30 Mbps or more. For people doing this regularly:

-How responsive are drawing, CAD viewport navigation and timeline scrubbing?

- Is the image quality good enough for detailed design work and animation previews?

- Which remote desktop software works best, and what home upload speed and latency should I aim for?

- How do you handle remote startup and recover access after crashes, restarts or disconnections? I’m considering a smart plug, but I’m open to better options. This would be my everyday workflow, so firsthand experiences would help.
