So you have a Wifi adapter in your PC? Is it Wifi 6 or Wifi 5? You might be able to use it as a connection for your Quest 2 and still have internet, without buying anything.

I do, I've had it for absolutely ages though so I wouldn't even want to say it's WiFi 5
Might looking at a WiFi 6 adapter to replace it

I thought WiFi adaptors didn't work very well with quest and VD/airline?

If you're willing to do a bit of playing around, it looks like you can get them to work well.
They can be made to work but in most cases a dedicated Router is better. I only really recommend trying them if you already have one or it's inbuilt into your motherboard.
Can you get the make/model of it?
I have Airlink working pretty great on my Wifi5 Orbi. Way better than VD did. Saints and Sinners, Space Pirate Trainer, Tetris Effect worked very well. Pistol Whipped was fine, but I could tell it wasn't as smooth as the native Quest version. Tried Creed briefly and it played well enough.

Next time I boot her up I'll have a tinker.
Is there any way to measure latency over Airlink? I'm shocked at how good it is. Over my WiFi 5 connection it seems to be a better image than the link cable. I fired up AMS2 and even that seemed to run well, but I didn't connect the wheel to test it properly. Alyx and Thumper were totally fine. Would love to test Latency though. I set it to use dynamic bit rate and moved the slider all the way to the right, 200mbps. Cosmodread looks so much better PCVR than Quest 2 native.

So can you actually use 120hz via pcvr and the oculus app? How do I do it via Link?
Got Squadrons running in 90hz and it feels pretty smooth, but would love to try 120hz
.
In addition, what happens if I'm only pushing 110 fps, and have 120hz on? Does it run OK just at 110, or is it choppy? Or will it try and use asw to fill in the gaps?

AMS 2 ?
Automobilista 2. Works great with Assetto Corsa too. I'm surprised given I'm on WiFi 5 on Orbi. I'm sure it'll be even better when I get around to upgrading to Wifi6 when the prices come down.
How are you using it? Is it setup as an access point from existing router with just PC and Quest on it?
£146 for the AP22 with bundled UK power adapter (Part Number R6M51A).
Yes just as an access point hardwired into a network switch in the room I have my PC and quest in.

Damn, I didn't think 120hz would make that much of a difference, but it's super smooth in Eleven table tennis.
And Audica over airlink us way better than VD.

I've had a fiddle with it and for the type of stuff I mostly play like Elite I prefer the image in VD. VD on high/150 mbs looks clearer to me than Airlink at a similar resolution and 200 bitrate. Airlink does seem a touch smoother though so I may end up using that for games where reaction times are more important. Nice to have options.
