Quest Wireless Airlink
« on: February 07, 2022, 04:49:10 PM »
I got a bit bored this weekend so I decided to have a bit of fun with my Quest. I also use an original Rift (CK1), most of the time this is what I play on. The Quest is also shared among my kids, and occasionally I get it back.

I decided to give Wireless Air Link a bit of a go (the Quest works as a tether PC VR headset except over Wifi). I really wanted to see if I could get Onward going on it, I love the Quest native version of Onward but the lure of the PC graphics tempted me. I also have a spare 802.1ac 4x4 MIMO access point kicking around I could dedicate to the Quest.

The result was quite impressive, AH was absolutely fine. I was getting a constant 71fps and clarify was good. Onward was equally good but I had to keep the graphic settings relatively low to keep FPS acceptable. I also gave Skyrim VR and spin and that was awesome being able to play PC VR away from the PC with no cables. I have the access point setup in my garage and leave the cars outside when I want to play - gives me a nice open play space without the risk of punching my monitor (which I have done occasionally in Skyrim VR).

Is anyone else running wireless Airlink?

Wireless doesn't add any lag you have to compensate for?

I've not played with it much in the MA but I've only used Airlink so far. Haven't noticed any lag in AH or MSFS as of yet.
