Ok folks,

Got two Quest 2s and looking to set up wifi connection to PC today so I can test higher resolution game play and the like.

Just wanting to check how I do this as some of this involves buying apps/software, so don't want to waste money!

Done so far:
- Have set up both Quests already through Meta store
- Have just installed the dedicated Asus Wifi 6 AX5400 router I bought based on your recommendations for this and set up a unique wifi network for this
- I've positioned it in the lounge (so it'll be about 1.5 metres from the VR sets when being played), connected to the CAT6 ethernet cable that runs through a couple of switches to the upstairs where both PCs are based.

To do:
- I've seen a few folks checking the speed that the wifi6 is running at, not sure how I do this in ASUS' app? Or do I do this through the headset?
- Next I 'think' I need to buy two copies of virtual desktop for each headset - this I believe will let be connect to the two PCs remotely through the VR sets. Although I've seen different apps recommended
- Then I guess I can run steam VR or something through these to then play games?

As you can see I get fuzzier in the to do list - any pointers appreciated!
 
Speed - ah yes, spotted it now - going at 1200, so think this is good news?

Virtual Desktop - perfect, thanks for clarity - ok downloading Virtual Desktop streamer app, have bought and downloaded the virtual desktop app and then will see where I get too!
Assume I'll be able to access my steam VR games through this? (sure I'll work it out)
 
All working - very smooth so far!

Downloading Half life Alyx to this PC to give it a road test!

I take it any games I've bought in Oculus Store will need to be rebought to play them through steam/virtual desktop (ie to get full quality graphics?)
 
Ah ok, think this is the result of us all signing over the games we used to buy to 'services' we now have to buy multiple times!

So to be clear, is Oculus 'PC' the same as steam games or do I have to play through Oculus air link rather than virtual desktop?
 
Tricky one really to know where to purchase games on both - I'd 'imagine' steam is the better option (ie quite possible I buy a different VR set in a few years that's non-oculus, but feels unlikely I won't be using Steam....?
 
Ah ok, think I'm leaning towards PC/Steam first as my thinking - dedicated router is working seamlessly, naturally gives better graphics and means I'm tethered as little as possible to one brand.

Great advice all, thanks!
