quest 2 over usb 3

[Kurgen]

does the quest 2 work ok over usb 3. as opposed to USB C. the g/f son wants to get one but i know his motherboard or gpu doesnt have a usb c connector. IF so any cable recommandations i can only see unbranded ones from the kids in china

Usb 3.1 or 3.2 I think it's required, but it works without C.

Playing wireless is pretty awesome though, much better than being cabled, and with an ok setup, no real difference to a cable.

wifi is poopins in this house with thick old walls. want to stick to wired

how long do you want it?

The cable? the pc is in his bedroom and thats where he is going to use it.

In certain cases it's worth getting a dedicated router connected to the PC.

so connect the WAN to existing LAN, then router LAN to PC and have on own network... or install a 2nd LAN card specific. .. seems a bit of work for me to setup which i want to avoid lol

why do you need both.. the first one already converts back to usb 3 ?

 

[Kurgen]

Option A.
A Honor/Huwawei 3 router is cheap as chips and regularly on sale and works really well.

this one is currently £18.95 ? HUAWEI WiFi WS5200

I'd suggest getting the WiFi 6 model. Tiny bit more but works well.

whatys the model ?

am im assuming correct that the HTC vive that i used to have, is a direct GPU output and the Oculus instead streams the video signal to the headset if that makes sense

 

[Kurgen]

Yes, but even with the streaming compression you get with wireless connections, the image quality of a Quest 2, Pico or Quest Pro over wireless is far, far, far, better than a HTC Vive.
There is almost no SDE (Screen door effect). You'd be amazed how much better it is.

I will see what the boys ones like, then maybe i will have to dip back into, loved the vive but it was so clunky, and the lightstations were a pain
