I got the PICO 4 to replace my quest and graphic looks much better with PC but I seems to get drop frames when playing Steam beat saber. My PC and PICO and router are all in the living room, my router has wifi 6 connected to the PICO via 5GHz channel.

I have Ryzen 7700 and a 3090 fgx card.

It would be a shame to have a wire running to the VR but wireless is just not playable at the moment.

Do you have a 1GB ethernet cable connection between PC and router? I know that's the recommendation with the Quest.
 
i have a pico 4 (used to have quest 2)

I have a wifi 6 router (also had a 5, no difference)
my PC is connected to the router via cable, and i am on an high speed line (upto 80MB connection)

I use my pico 4 in the same room as the router and I use "virtual Desktop" and it connects to my computer at 1200 MBs (wifi 6)

and it runs beautifully

disable 2.4? I currently have 40 devices on the 2.4ghz and most are smart devices which is not 5ghz enabled :0 could that be my problem. Will disable it later midnight and try again lol

Are you able to increase the wireless radios power levels at all via the router? You can on my Asus router and increasing the 5Ghz band to max seemed to eliminate lag on the headset, might be worth checking out!?!

I had a rough start with my Pico 4 via wireless, but the following really helped:
  1. Used Virtual Desktop as the pico streaming software kept changing the streaming bitrate from ~150 down to ~10 and everything went blocky periodically. This was galling, but in the end VD kinda "saved the day"
  2. Created a seperately named 5G network, allowing all the "slow stuff" around the house to stay on the 2.4G network.
  3. Changed the 5G network channel bandwidth from Auto to 80MHz - This can be set as low as 20MHz and this had a huge impact on the datarate & stability of the image quality. Note that you can go to 160MHz on many routers, but you tend to end up with more clashes with other people's networks, so this wasn't really an option for me, nor did it have any meaningful effect on latency, bandwidth or image quality.
