Indeed that does sound different to my issue which was resolved with the new router. Could it be to do with the “automatically adjust bitrate” feature? I always set this disabled in the VD desktop streamer app, but maybe if it is enabled it could be the hidden variable that is affecting your sessions? Otherwise I would definitely be tempted to try Air Link as that should confirm whether it is an issue with VD or whether it is something else. I also prefer VD due to gamma adjustment but the sharpness is now quite similar since Link V33 got a sharpen mode, and anyway the idea would be to temporarily try AirLink to try to isolate the problem.
You can now use the Oculus desktop app and go to settings/beta/set Oculus runtime. However sometimes that doesn’t work for me and you will need to do the manual registry edit:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1
Set active runtime to:
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\oculus_openxr_64.json
Router list is below (I got this off the virtual desktop discord which is a good place to ask questions)
