I have been a VR user for years, multiple headsets, have watched dozens and dozens of videos about setting up PCVR, wireless settings, etc., and this is probably the best, most straightforward, and easiest to follow video that I have watched on the topic yet. Great video!

Very good tutorial. I feel, that many Q3 do not know (and P4 dont want to know), how to get these results. This will really show, what Q3 (& QPro) is capable of.

This is exactly how someone should make a tutorial, perfect

Wow so I didn't know about the oculus tool in the Oculus folder...I copied your settings and connected my quest 3 to my wifi 6 network and I got excellent results while playing DCS and I even left it on maximum graphics settings

always had cabled link... trying to give airlink a go! thank u for video!

Just wanted to chime in when it comes to AirLink resolution. The optimal resolution to account for Q3 barrel distortion is 3072x3216 per eye for a total of 6144x3216. So to get full image clarity you would need to further increase the resolution set in Oculus PC app either by using Oculus Debug Tool resolution multiplier (I find that 1.125 gives roughly the right value but Meta has ratios of the resolution is messed up) or by using SteamVR slider to increase to around 6144x3216 (again due to Oculus app pushing wrong ratio the exact numbers pixel to pixel are not achievable). Also the encoding width is capped at 4040 while Quest 3 for the perfect match needs 4128. So Meta has some work to do when it comes to PCVR. Anyway nice comprehensive guide. Quick and on point.

Thanks for this nice guide. I have a AXE5400 router, same as you, except I was experiencing a ton of micro stutters. Setting the Router to AP mode fixed this issue completely. Cheers!

Thank you for the excellent walk through. Do you still see signs of compression artifacts with these settings or is it visually perfect within the limitations of the display itself? Are we at Displayport quality at this point?

great tutorial! My main modem is on the groundfloor. It's a recent model. Then I have a cable to the 2nd floor. There I have a wifi -6 360 pod. Does a wifi 6 e router still does the job if connected by pc with cable?

with Asus RT-AEX7800 your settings are perfect I am at 500mb in stable wifi6e over 6 meters distance. Thank you

Excellent content. Concise and practical. Thank you. Subscribing to your channel now.

Thanks, gotta try your tutorial.

Earned yourself a sub

Great tutorial. What is the 6e bug and is it still an issue? Where can I keep an eye on it? I set this up on 6 but if I go to 960 bitrate, you’d mind as well be stoned. 400-500mms latency, lags and black space on the periphery. 400 seems nice for now, but should I go to 5ghz? What is the deal with h.265?

Nice tutorial, with a smooth voice over too. I think one of the last settings in the router may seem a bit cargo-cultish but you're picking something your neighbors dont use.

I don't know why there is no physical keyboard support on quest link, the only option is virtual desktop passthrough to take advantage of the PC to Quest 3 (work/2d game) functionality.

Thanks for the info in the process of setting this up. Once you have the wifi 6e router as a AP, can you then disconnect it from your modem and just hardline it to your PC? As in don’t have it connected to your internet network at all?

Hey man nice vid, question, i just bought the same (expensive) router as you, i only have 1 router which is this one, do i really need to put it in dedicated mode? I only have it setup that ONLY my quest 3 is connected and nothing else, is this an issue? Thanks!

Might be a dumb question but I'm planning on buying 2 quest 3 for my kids. Can I use just 1 router for 2 different PC so they can use 2 different PC accounts for pcvr? Or does this only work for 1 quest/computer?

Does it matter if the 6E router has a 2.5Ghz port (assuming my PC also has one)? Do you see Meta increasing the bitrate cap to something beyond 960Mbps in the future? Did you have to change anything to make it work with the V60 update? Back to 5Ghz for now?

Question, can I use my phone hotspot 5GHz connected to my laptop for internet AND then connect a dedicated router to the laptop for the Quest 3, will this combo work for AirLink?

Amazing, thank you for this tutorial. What’s the on screen latency meter you use?

hey have the same setup with router and quest 3 and did id your way BUT the encoder tab in the performance interface jumps up each time i move my head and if move constantly it laggs... is it beacause of a new patch?

I initially had a TL-WPA8630P KIT and decided to give this a go. So I bought a AXE75 and set it up based on your settings. It went from pretty damn good to unplayable...

I ordered an ASUS RT-AXE7800, tell me, will it be enough to achieve the same results as yours?

The App tracking to Mid-photon latency is probably not the right number you should be looking at. That number stays the same even when the V-sync offset number (on the Oculus link detail page) changes. And you can feel when it does. What numbers we should be looking at I dont know. VD shows nice and low numbers but I was never able to make it feel as low latency as airlink. Maybe its magic maybe it overpredicts hugely.

can I use WiFi 6e USB dongle instead of the dedicated router, insert it into PC and set up WiFi on that dongle to be a hotspot and connect VD to that WiFi?

I need a pc that outputs a WiFi signal 6e but if my isp maxes as 410mbps, do I need a 6e router still? The game will stream from pc to headset so that connection needs to be 6e, pc to internet maxes in my home at 410 Mbps, so do I need a 6e router and why?

What if I have a pcie wifi 6e card can I connect it with quest 3

Does the primary router being WiFi 6 negatively affect the performance of the WiFi6e dedicated router?

Has Meta fixed the bug yet so that the Quest 3 works with 6E now? (May 17/24 now) You still have the note in your description that it’s not…..?

As soon as i set bitrate higher than 200 in oculus tray tool everything lags horribly when using airlink, I have the same router as you but it is not set in AP mode, i still think it shouldnt lag when im not pushing crazy bitrates, something like 400-500 should be doable...

i play in 40mbp/s with my quest 2 and wifi 6. I can't up the flow without causing problems :/

How did you solve the issue of the audio being broken? When I set the bitrate any higher than 700ish, the audio starts to get fucked up. I abandoned Airlink because VD H264+ at 400mbps looks better than Airlink 700mbps with the plus side being I don't have to use Oculus bullshit shitty software.

But if you put your router in AP mode then you can’t have your pc hard lined into the router. Shouldn’t you have the pc plugged into the same router? Do you have your pc plugged into your main router instead of the tp link router?

I try first with my old Tp Link archer C6 with not any configuration, and it work under 780 mbps connection... 120 hz full graphics and it give me a little artifacts but it was usable... now i buy this axe5400 router y i do the exact same settings, that you give in this excelent video... but it works so bad, up to 2400 mbps connection, but so much latency, lags, distortion,... i try again the old router and it works bad too... i don't understand, seems that the problem is the settings... HELP PLEASE

I have 1280 mbs on Wifi 6 not even 6e and did noting for it just need a good Wifi 6 modem and that is it choose a 80mh ch and thats it

My PSC setting only goes to 85 max, i cannot get it higher. The channel width is 160mhz btw. Can someone explain why?

I have a 3080ti, so what should my encode resolution be?

How do you get that window with the metrics to appear?

What's the maximum possible bandwidth on a quest 2? I have a wifi 6e router right beside me when I'm on airlink. Or maybe the 200mbps in airlink menu is the maximum?

I do not have the Mobile ASW option in my Oculus Debug Tool, any ideas why?

how about with the link cable what is the latency

Some explanation on the settings would be nice. Why not enable ofdma? Did it have negative consequences. Also why beacon interval 50? Also I live in canada the channel before I sent this router back for poor performance only went up to about 165 I believe. Curious yours goes higher. Why do you feel higher channel is better?

What exactly is the difference between H264 normal and H264+?

67 ms latency is way too high for me, considering I do Sim racing. With VD I’m getting 28-37ms with video buffering enabled. With it disabled its around 29ms, but more unstable. This is with Ultra, AV1, 100mbps, 120fps.

tray tool registry error ?

If your actual link were 960mbps, your latency would be more than 200ms. Enabling such bandwidth is ok, but the actual bandwidth used by your device would be less than 400mpbs. Same as quest 3. With quest 3, virtual desktop uses AV1 and at 200mbps superior. You need a gpu to suport Av1.

0:45 Quest 2 maintains a 1200Mbps connection on a wifi6 router, only reason Quest 3 can't do this is because of the garbage firmware Oculus has put out. I upgraded my AP from a Ubiquiti wifi 6 lite to the wifi6 pro. Sure the speeds are much faster now, but the connection is still inconsistent, and that's with sitting my AP on the table next to me. I can change wireless channels, nothing helps.

The Quest 3 also has a wifi issue with stutter and lag. I reckon it' won't get fixed. I'm monitoring the Meta forums and really it seems they couldn't give a rats a$$. A tip that might help some is shut down any apps on your pc that aren't needed. Shut down or disconnect your VPN if you have one also. My Expressvpn caused a ton of problems.

Does Airlink use upload speed or download speed?

Gave this a shot, and just could not get it to work (and may have screwed up my stable VD setup in the process). I have the same router (AXE75) in Canada, and a 4090. Going through the guide in order, I noticed after switching to 960 mbps, the experience got VERY laggy, so I kept going through the tutorial and realized I needed to switch the router to Access Point mode. After doing that, nothing changed. Extremely laggy. I tried every single channel (12 of them) and always get extreme laggy performance just in the first Airlink interface after connecting to PC (waited for it to stabilize, never did). Here's the worst part, I went back to my previously very stable AV1-10 bit 200mbps Virtual Desktop connection, and now that is laggy too! It seems switching into Access Point has really screwed things up for me in VD, while also not providing a stable Airlink experience. A consideration - Is this an router problem or a bitrate problem, or both? Because switching to AP in the router broke my perfectly working VD setup, I'm inclined to think it's a router problem (still need to switch back off of AP mode to see if VD stability comes back). With that said, when in Airlink if I reduce the bitrate by about half it gets better (but still laggy). to define what I mean by laggy, if i look in one direction quickly I see the sides of my view switch to black screen. When I move my hands up and down, the rendered representation of my hands is way late to respond. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot further?

Asus ax82u - 750+ mbps 55 ms latency. No wi fi 6e, just wi fi 6

I havé Wifi 6e and 2400 mbps .. and it works perfekt

which is your gpu?

using quest 2 works fine for me

small issue - VD now supports 500 mbps

Dedicated router.. you mean dedicated 6ghz band?

How long to use that and have cancer or other brain-diseases due to ultra-electro-smog?

tf i dont even have the mobile ASW setting in the debug tool

Quest 3’s processor can handle 200 mbps max? What is the video even on about

F Videos???????? What the F?

vd just add 500mbps!

in the USA, Wi-Fi 6 also utilizes the 6GHz frequency band. Wi-Fi 6 operates in multiple frequency bands, including 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but the introduction of the 6GHz band, specifically the 6E (6GHz Extended) designation, has expanded the available spectrum for faster and more reliable wireless connections. This means that Wi-Fi 6 can take advantage of the 6GHz frequency to provide improved performance, reduced interference, and better support for high-bandwidth applications. It's like opening up a new express lane for your wireless data traffic! In other words, you can have 6Ghz with Wifi 6 too... so an indicator of 6Ghz in quest does not indicate 6E usage.
