One or two recommendations here,
Quest 2 accessories - recommendations, reviews etc
Figured this could be a useful thread. I'll try and remember to update it as we go, linking the reviews/posts etc here. Any accessories or even home made mods can be here. Maybe some other enthusiastic person could grab the 2nd post so they can always take over if I stop :D. Not sure on the...

I've only been playing 1 game via steam link and that's HL Alyx. Maybe every couple of minutes or so there's a lag/drop in audio for half a second. It's actually annoying because it kinda kills the immersion..
I have WiFi 6 5ghz tplink router which is 10ft behind me and my pc is pretty decent spec. And via Ethernet
Is this to be expected? I guess I should try another steam game to get a fair result... But is this paid virtual desktop really that much better?
What is HLA like when playing wired?

I've played HLA wireless using both steam link, and Oculus air link, (both free) and not had any audio issues. This was on a Quest 2 with a 2070 super.
I've since upgraded to a Quest 3 and a 4070ti, and although i've not played through the whole game as yet, i've played quite a few times over wireless, with no audio or video stutter.
If you're getting stutter it may or may not be the connection method, but something else causing the stutter.
I believe there are lots of monitoring things you can try, including one inside steam link, so you can monitor whats happening in terms of dropped frames, WiFi, GPU and CPU usage etc.. (I'm not an expert on any of this as luckily i've never really had issues!)
I'm sure others will be able to advise better, on which monitoring things to use.

@toString is the 5ghz locked out to anything other than the quest, my router has the same network name and pass for the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz has a different name and pass so only the quest can access.
There's an app called fpsvr you can use in steam link, it's either free or very cheap and is excellent for monitoring CPU, GPU and other bits I've not looked at, as like Rigga I've never had issues.

the tplink 6E router is the cheapest 6E router on the market, and its the worst, Ravenger would get disconnected quite a lot with it
I wouldn't say a lot. Occasionally yes. Seemed more unstable using it as a general wifi for the Quest on 6E than for PCVR streaming though. It's pretty solid for wireless VR streaming.

a lot of games are being discontinued on the Quest 2 now, and games are getting quest 3 only releases , so if its not doing what you want anymore, upgrade
Thanks to the others who replied. But I noticed that the lag spikes happen even if I'm standing still doing nothing in the 'VR house' when you open steamlink. Not even in the game yet..
After some googles.. I noticed the TpLink AX routers have a lot of problems with airlink also, so I imagine it's that. (I have the AX50).
Even a thread here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/quest-2-which-wifi6-router.18900781/page-25
So I guess I'll have to search for a new router...
It may not just be the router at fault, lots of folks are having issues with stutter and lag spikes.
(Not Resolved) Known Issue - Quest PCVR streaming micro lags and stutter esp. when moving head
Hi team, I'm getting micro lags and stutter in Airlink on my Quest 3 (EU/UK), esp. when moving my head. In the Oculus debug overlay this causes brief spikes in transmit/decode, fps drops and visible stuttering. The issue is not present on my Quest Pro with otherwise identical settings - see...

No idea if it will have any effect, but have you tried ALVR? As a Linux user it's my only option for PCVR but it works quite well and there is a Windows version. You will need the client software too for your headset which is available on the Meta AppLab. It's probably not quite as straightforward to get working as Meta's software (no idea, never tried it
) but worth a go to see if that rules anything out.

My Quest 2 won't connect to my new router. It will find it, and I will enter the correct password but it won't connect 
it is a toob router which is a Lynksys Velop MX4200 this thing https://downloads.linksys.com/suppo...0Series_UserGuide_INTL_LNKPG-00755_RevB00.pdf. Everything else (old and new) connects to the router fine, any ideas? My headset is not connected to any network now and I 'forgot' all thet old networks it's connected to in the past.

Have you updated it recently, as there was an update that borked wifi connections.My Quest 2 won't connect to my new router.

Quest 3/ Air Link stopped working/ No connection to PC/ PC found but Start Button is greyed out...
I've been using the Quest 3 for almost 8 months now, and before i used the Quest 2 without any problems via Air link/same router/same PC... This Saturday I'm playing Borderland 2 VR and on Monday the Quest 3 can no longer connect to the PC without any reason. If I want to activate Air Link via...
Well I have just got a GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (AX6000) Flint 2 to replace my TP-Link Archer AX50 (AX3000). Purely because I saw 1 other post on reddit that said it worked lol... And although I was kinda shocked to see a lack of connection settings for my internet connection.. It did work. And actually slightly better speeds (~940mbps instead of ~915mbps).It may not just be the router at fault, lots of folks are having issues with stutter and lag spikes.

But the main point is the audio skips and lag spikes (blurry --> unblurry) have almost completely stopped. I do still see some purple lines on the steamlink graph, but they don't seem to effect the game that much.
So mainly updating this in case someone else googles with the same issue. I actually liked the tp-link router, but I doubt I'll be buying another.. The ui on this gl.inet one is a bit basic, but it does the job..
I ordered a Quest 3 today
. But maybe am mad as i never really ever use my Quest 2 
But it nice to know i will have it sitting there collecting dust for if i ever do want to have a play
Plus the cold, wet & dark winter time coming soon

Always handy to have another headset so you can play multiplayer with family or visitors.
I may sell my Quest 2 after the Quest 3 arrives
I didn't try selling my quest 2 first as i wanted to compare it to the Quest 3 before trying to sell it.
Also don't think i get much for my Quest 2 as there loads of them on my local facebook market pages
