What codec and frame rate do you set in VD settings?

You need a router in the same room as the headset for a reliable wireless PCVR link, ideally line of sight.

And it's worse with 6E routers. They are even more affected by walls and obstacles.

I tried to play HL:Alyx yesterday using Virtual Desktop, with my PC on in another room. I kept getting stutters, and if I turned my head quickly it's like the image was delayed and I just saw lots of black. Basically it was unplayable.

I only have a basic Virgin Media WiFi setup with the Super Hub 4 (I think, which I believe is a WiFi 5 router). Could this be the issue? Would WiFi 6 make that much difference? Is it worth me asking VM for a Super Hub 5 as that is WiFi 6. They don't have anything that is 6E currently and I want to avoid spending money.

I don't have access to all my settings to share right now but just curious if anyone else has experienced this before and knows a simple solution?

Is the Hub in the same room as where you use the Quest?

Is the Hub connected to your PC by network cable and is that cable cat 5e or higher?

The quality of the wireless connection between your headset and router is vital for the Quest Headsets.

There is no simple solution. You are going to have to try some things.

Yes hub is in the same room, PC is in a different room connected through home plugs.

Anyway, I managed to fix it. I changed the FPS to 72 and also changed codec from H264+ to one of the 10 bit ones, I think HEVC. I was even able to increase quality to Godlike and it runs and looks AMAZING!

It's so good finally being able to play HL:Alyx without a wire and with some more space around me.

Flight sim still looks crap though.

Some games look pretty bad over wireless unless you can get a 6E router and really crank the bitrate up.

It's normally games with lots of foliage or dark muddy colours. Skyrim VR is a particular case.

Grabbing a tplink wifi 6e router was by FAR the best thing ive done so far for my quest 3 pcvr setup. in virtual desktop you can just crank the bitrate all the way up and havent had even a single stutter so far and thats using my headset 2 rooms away from the main pc and router. Game changer.
