Oculus/Facebook/meta broke the wired link cable :(

4 or 5 days ago I tried my quest pro in assetto Corsa. it was incredible
I had friends around yesterday and it flatly refused to work. my pc could see the quest pro was connected but in the headset it was not seen at all.

wireless worked fine but the image quality is not as good

I faffed about for ages and made a very good case to show that VR is still not out of " for tinkering geeks stage" yet before giving up wondering what I had done wrong.

then checked on the forums and loads have the issue. Meta are investigating with no timeline to fix.
has anyone else tried wired link over the last couple of days? how is it working?.

it really shows how little meta care about pcvr users given this made it through testing and into the wild

I have a mesh system. it's not 6E however. maybe next time I will get that but for now I can't justify the expense. fingers crossed they fix it soon
thanks for the reply

You don't need a 6E router to up the bitrate.

i upped it to 200 and that seems just about ok albeit possibly a little more iffy sometimes than at default.

if i keep it at the default i used for wired (500) however very bad things happen and it is totally unusual.

Dont get me wrong i appreciate the suggestion however the point still stands. many people do not have good enough wifi regardless..... fundamental key features like link mode should not be rolled out in a broken state..... and from what ravenger said, its not even a rare occurrence.
