The secondary ap that the rest of the house is on is ~2’ in front of me on my desk. The modem/router the Quest 2 is connected to is also ~2’ but next to my left foot on the floor. It generally has a direct LoS to the headset although the desk top occasionally covers it if I lean forward.
I’m struggling to explain this, but it isn’t just a random few second blip of hiccups. It is the difference between my entire session running at 30fps, smooth as glass on high/ultra settings and 100 render scale vs. the exact same settings getting me 10-20fps or sometimes unplayably lower no matter what I do. It’s like the weather changed or something.
I’ve been considering this at the least because I can’t manually configure 5ghz channels on this modem/router because AT&T suck. I’ve been considering a DFS capable router as well since that seems wide open. Which wifi 6 router did the VD developer recommend? Also, I’m not sure i need an actual router so much as a good access point. The modem serves as a router and I can plug into that.
You know, I used to be on my wifi 5 AmplifiHD before I switched to fiber, and had similar issues (although nowhere good as performance when it “behaved well”). It’s a giant headache to switch everything again since the rest of the devices in the home are on it at present, so I’ll likely get a new wifi 6 AP for the Q2 (AmplifiHD is just wifi 5) and see if that solves it and if not, return it.
I’d tried it before but the shimmering and quality were worse than VD. Might be time to give it another go–I also have an aftermarket link cable I coudl try, but I had even worse luck with that historically. Generally I hate the Oculus software compared to VD overall, but I guess I shoudl rule things out.
What’s the process these days to switch between them? I recall having to edit a registry key because of needing to switch openXR runtimes.
