Quest 2, Which WiFi6 Router?

I've tried it on my existing router wifi5, in same room it works flawlessly, in the next room it also works really well but with dips to 40-50ms and it made a noticeable difference to accuracy

have ordered an honor3 so will see how that fares, should be better just by virtue of the fact I can move it to where I want to play

Would definitely like to hear more on the honor 3. I've got a vodafone modem/router at the moment, has 5ghz, so will eventually get around to trying it.
 
I purchased an Asus RT-AX55 to use with my Quest 2. The Router will be in the same room and connected directly to the PC.

Will be setting them both up in an hour or so and will let you guys know how I get on.

It's an Asus RT-AC68U, works perfectly when in the same room it's just we want to be able to use the headset in the living room, so need a 2nd router anyway and the honor3 is cheap and wifi6

Is the Honor 3 that cheap? Looks to be around £70.

Surely cheaper Wifi 5 routers would be a better bet if you're only using them as Quest access points.

From what I've seen on YT there doesn't seem to be much difference in performance, both around 20ms at 85 stream quality.

I got a C6 from amazon for 32 quid in the sale, so depends if you really want to spend an extra 50 quid just for wifi6 and hope that they optimize things down the line.
 
just as a reminder, if you live in a fairly dense urban area with a lot of neighbours wifi access points popping up you might not get a great signal. wifi6 might not help if your local radio spectrum is saturated; I have around 30 AP's nearby transmitting data
 
Ok setup Virtual desktop and streamed a few games.

It worked fine. 20ms latency, so can't complain. Will mess around with the different settings tomorrow to see what difference they make.

What stream setting was that on quality wise? Also did you retain 20ms even while moving your arms and head etc?
 
Set up Virtual PC for the first time last night, wireless to Quest 2 all on default (as I'm not sure what I'm doing!)


PC (ground floor) -- switch (ground floor) -- sky router (1st floor) -- sky router (1st floor) wireless dedicated 5G -- Quest 2 (same room)

Played Alyx last night and it was superb, I have a Honor 3 on the way but as is not sure I need it.

Again, just to stress this was all set to default so not sure if that's the reason it worked so well.

I even set it all up when I was on the Ground floor, Virtual Desktop was displaying ~850mb and ~20ms (just on desktop)
 
I've been able to stream games from my rift library fairly smoothly but anything from Steam (Alex in particular) is very choppy/reprojecting.

I have a 5Ghz Router hard wired to the PC (specs in sig) and all in the same room, only service running on it was the quest 2.

What settings are people running in both VD, VD steamer and Oculus quest 2 setting to get HL:A running smoothly?

I've not tried the link cable yet to compare, which I know is daft, so it may be that it's just crap from my PC, but! I think the performance could be much better over the wifi stream, so many variables!

Also how can I monitor performance over the wifi link to see the data rates I'm getting.

In VD allows me to up the streaming speed to 115Mbps (I would have though it was able to go much higher)

Everything was at the default settings. As I said I will try a few different settings when I get a chance.

It was at 20ms every time I checked it. Didn't seem to matter what I was doing.

This was just Oculus games, haven't tried any Steam VR games yet.
 
Ah, so you can get non-Quest Oculus games that run on your PC? Because I've been trying to play Minecraft VR (Windows 10 version), but it says it's only for Rift and won't play.
 
Virtual Desktop is the only current solution to play PCVR games wirelessly on your Quest, the discussion in this thread is mainly around creating the optimum conditions for that.

If you're using a cable you don't need Virtual Desktop and that's supported by Oculus natively.

Yes, you buy VD on the quest app store, then side quest to install the patch then within the VD menu you launch games - yes Minecraft does work via VD

Google virtual desktop quest and there are loads of simple guides to set it up
