A very nice detail that is not mentioned here, you do NOT need to be connected to the internet for this device to work. Obviously, if you want to play something online you will need to be connected; but the connection will not be affected by the streaming.

I'm about to set up my Puppis S1. I had a question, when you're in Virtual Desktop, do you have to launch SteamVR to play a VR game? I've just been starting the game strait through Virtual Desktop. Thank you for the informative video!
The connection go’s from the puppis pc- and headset puppis. Is it over wife or Bluetooth? And use it internet speed ( if more people using WiFi at home do I get downtime. I hope I make my self clear 😅
Little update here, they updated the USB cable to have a notch on one side to help Identify which sides to plug it in. (Plastic notch on router blocks usb from being plugged in if usb is backwards.)
I have everything set up according to the app with pupis, but I can't tell if I am actually connected via pupis or if its just connecting via desktop like with air link.
The Puppis just acts as a network device. So you just need to connect to it as your WiFi connection on your Quest. From there, you can use Airlink, Steam Link, or Virtual Desktop as normal. I personally prefer the Steam Link app, as it's free on Quest, stable, and very easy to use.
I'd love to see a demo of VD with overlay to se the stable signal. Meny of us are struggling with the wifi stability bug on the Q3. This might be a workaround.
Still using the Q3? Have you found a fix for your setup? I thought about getting a new wife 6e router and maybe the puppis? I’m still searching options before getting the Q3. I wasn’t even aware that this puppis thing is needed. Honestly I don’t even know what it’s for. So if I’m gaming using the q3 attached to a PC, this contraption means I don’t have to have it attached to the pc?
I got it all setup but when I launch steamvr from the VD button I get horrible lag right from the start. I have it on Prism Pulse Mode and WiFi is connected to my 2.4g because it won't allow 5Ghz in that mode. I can put it in 5Ghz wifi in hotspot but it won't work with VD in that mode. Anyone else having these issues. I can run it better without the Prism in airlink but wanted to get the best connection possible. This is WAY worse for steamvr. What have I done wrong?
I also have big issues (at least for steamlink) there is a constant super high latency spike that steam shows me, around all 7-10 seconds. Unfortunately it's unplayable like that, it seems to be more fluid than my router but even more unstable with those big spikes.
Well, I finally got mine working first with steam link. Then withen with virtual destop. It now connects to my computer flawlessly. I did do a factory reset but I'm not sure if that was the fix. Just glad it's working and it's very fast.
Hi J! Quick question if you could answer before i buy the puppis that would be great buddy,i have my home router wifi split seperate so 2.4ghz and 5ghz so that my wife & kid connects their mobiles to the wifi 2.4ghz and my 5ghz i have different password which i only use to connect my quest3, so when setting up the puppis can i direct it in settings to use my routers 5ghz wifi channel to create a seamless dedicated connection?
Yes you can! But keep in mind, the Puppis creates a direct connection to your PC and then when you play PCVR, it's just using the same connection your PC uses. Technically you don't need to connect the Puppis directly to your router if you don't want to.
I recently bought the low-latency headphones for my Quest VR device from PrismXR, and I have to say, they are a game-changer. The sound quality is exceptional, providing an immersive audio experience that truly enhances my VR gaming. The low latency feature is remarkable - the audio syncs flawlessly with the visuals, making the experience incredibly realistic. The headphones are also extremely comfortable, even during long gaming sessions, which is a huge plus. The build quality feels sturdy yet lightweight. What I also appreciate is how seamlessly they integrate with my Quest, no hassle in setup or connectivity issues. Top it off with responsive customer support, and you have a stellar product. Highly recommend for any VR enthusiast
That's Great! They are on sale still for black Friday season. Make sure to use my discount code as well! Been loving mine still, and I use it every day with no issues. I think you're gonna love it.
wow, great info on accessories! I just saw about the dedicated router from another vid but yours was definitely more helpful! so, I've also seen that using as hotspot increase speed and resolution? but you said you just connect to it without internet from the s1?
Sorry, I am incredibly late to this comment. But yeah the Puppis just created a direct connection to your PC, and then from there, it's just using the Internet connection on your PC for PCVR stuff. I did eventually connect my Puppis to the Internet, and that just allows the quest to have Internet access when you aren't using PCVR.
Good video, thanks. The Vega T1 earbuds are actually slow charging and will not recharge the Quest 3 battery. The passthrough power will simply slow down the drain but the battery level of the Quest 3 will slowly go down as you play, it will not keep it at 100% charge.
Quick question, but to use Virtual Desktop do you still need the PC to be connected to your router via an Ethernet Cable? This is where I have a problem as I have no way to run a cable at the moment.
Technically this could help with that. Virtual desktop would be using your direct connection to the Puppis and your PC, while your Internet comes from your wireless connection between your PC and router.
@ I’d just tried the D-Link VR Airbridge and had to send it back. It was terrible so this would seem like the next best thing. I couldn’t get Virtual Desktop to run on the Airbridge though.
Not really, this isn't a substitute for your Internet connection on your PC. But if you have a strong wireless connection to your PC, then this would help create a good connection between your quest and your PC, which would then use the same wireless you currently have on your PC if that makes sense. Versus both your PC and your Headset needing to go through your home router and back without the Puppis.
I assume you could but I have not tested that. It works with a USB C cable and then you only need the one connection. So if you use I high speed USBC to USBC cable then I would assume that would work without issues.
For me my school wifi runs on a vpn all the time so i am not able to connect to like steam or quest link at all on their wifi. Would the puppis vr change that since im connecting the quest to the pc and not both having them on wifi?@@jBahrVR
Great to hear! I have been using the Puppis and Vega T1s as daily drivers at this point. Wonderful devices. Use the links in the video description here if you can - it would mean a lot :)
Hi! I have a question about the battery strap as thats what led me here. So I bought my quest 3 last Christmas and with it i bought the elite strap with the battery. Now after using it i have noticed that the battery connects briefly then disconnects. Now even if it were fixed i would have the problem where its supplying 18 watts where the quest 3 requires 19.5 So a no go. Then I heard prismxr has a 30 watt carry on charger. So my main question is, have you ever had the quest 3 disconnect from the battery pack? Like it just refuses to connect? Cause if not then this will solve all my family game night problems. The rest of the products are just icing on the cake. Thank you
heya! thank you for the review of the products, I actually really appreciate it. two small questions currently i was looking to get a dedicated pcvr streaming router for my quest 3, butttt i just saw that the puppis s1 is a thing. should i just go for the s1 to make things easier ? 2nd question is, how long does the battery for the vega t1 last? thanks in advance c:
Hello! 1st Question: I do think the Puppis S1 makes it incredibly easy to do wireless PCVR, so if you are looking for a more "plug-n-play" solution, I think it's the best option out there now. 2nd Question: They each have 63 mAH batteries and should last around 6 hours. Hope this helps!
So about the USB, on my computer I have 2 slots that have a blue thingy in them, and one slot that has a grey thingy in it? would it be ok to plug both of them into the blue ones?
They recently added a desktops app for Windows on their site to help manage the Puppis. I do not have it connected to WiFi so I haven't tested that yet but it may help you disconnect it.
In regards to Vega T1 - I own the soundcore and feel like they don’t get loud enough. If you own the soundcore VR buds could you weigh in on the overall volume differences between the two? Also, is there an audio passthrough on the Vegas to allow the user to hear their own voice? (Similar to transparency mode on AirPods?). Thanks!
I do not own the soundcore buds, but can say on the default setting these feel plenty loud enough. You also have the VegaBlast option to increase it more if needed. There is not a passthrough mode on the Vega T1s. Hope this helps!
Hey jBahr! I found your video really helpful. I have a quick question - I typically connect my PC via ethernet. Do I NEED to be using wifi in order for the Puppis to function properly? My wifi isn’t the best which is why I prefer the hardline. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
Hello! So the Puppis just creates a direct wireless connection to your PC, it's entirely separate from how your PC gets Internet. I also have my PC hardwired. You still use whatever Internet connection your PC has to play games and all that :)
hey J I think it isn't your style but there could be a whole other video on how to get the audio is setup while wireless. The mic issue especially. Just a simple request from a simple man.
Hey there, very nice video, thank you for the reviews :) Iam in that spot, where money isn‘t the factor to find the best solution.. so do you think the Puppis S1 is there a better Option for wireless PCVR (if money wasn’t the factor to consider)? Wouldn’t a more expensive wireless router with wifi 6e (only used to connect my pc with my quest 3) achieve a better result? How is the latency in pcvr like HL:Alyx or Propagation.. can you do a follow-up video and show the numbers? Maybe (if your own system can provide) with at least a RTX 3000 or even better a 4000 series with av1? Thanks in advance! Good work, keep it up!
Yes, I do believe you would technically get more bandwidth and speeds out of a higher end dedicated wifi 6e router, however, using the Puppis I have had zero issues when streaming with the highest settings in Virtual Desktop. So the extra cost/performance seems like overkill more than anything. I typically get around 30-40ms for latency, which I have not noticed in game at all. I can definitely try to post a video when I can here. I monitor it frequently during my streams and have yet to have it fail for me :) Hope this helps!
@@jBahrVR thank you so much for your answer! It helped a lot.. we will see how I decide in the end, but puppis seems to be a great solution over all :) thank you man!
@@feschuh You bet! I like that I could easily move the puppis from my gaming PC to my gaming laptop if needed, and I wasn't at home. Which is much more difficult when you have to network in a router depending on where you are. Not everyone's use case but also worth mentioning as to why I prefer it over a full router setup.
Bear with me, I’m not super tech savvy, but know enough to get me by. I’m also relatively new to the gaming scene at 42 lol… I played my share of madden in my teens but that’s about as deep as my gaming went. With that being said, the quest has sucked me into the gaming world rather quickly- more specifically, pop one in particular. Can’t get enough of it. My first question is in regards to the Puppis. I noticed you mentioned plugging it into your PC. I run my quest 3 stand alone, not through a PC. So would the Puppis still benefit me? And what would set up entail in my case? Would I hook it up to my existing router or modem? Like I said, I’m far from experienced in this realm lol. Second question- I already have an aftermarket head strap with battery pack for my Q3, but am intrigued by the belt battery pack. I definitely don’t get 5 hours with my current setup. My question is- could I run prismvr battery to my aftermarket head strap as it’s currently set up (essentially adding 5 hours to my current 2.5 hours). Or should I just bypass the aftermarket connection and just run it right to Q3. Sorry for the long winded questions. Love your reviews and love how responsive you are to questions. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work man.
Hello! VR is a great way to get back into gaming, happy you are enjoying it. Regarding the Puppis, it is only for creating a direct connection to your PC to play PCVR games, no benefit/use for standalone VR. For the Battery Pack, I think it would work either way. However, depending on the speed of charging your quest strap provides, your quest might drain the battery too fast. Personally I would keep it simple and just have one battery plugged directly into the Quest. But no harm in trying both options to see what happens :)
Thanks for checking out the video! Still use it to this day and it's always in the prism pulse mode for me. And I just have it connected to my gaming PC via the USB cables, and not hooked up to my Internet. Then I just connect to the prism router on my quest 3, load up steam link, and I'm good to go!
I have an ASUS AX3000 router. I run my Ethernet cable directly into that. Then that plugs into my PC. I then connect my Quest to the AX3000. Would the Puppis be an improvement somehow?
Connectivity wise probably not much of a difference. The benefit here for most folks is that you can just plug the puppis directly into your PC and you dont need to worry about networking it in with your home router/switch. This is just a simpler setup as you can just plug it directly into your PC via USB.
No it can still have a 5Ghz connection, the Puppis is meant to create a high speed, stable connection between your PC and your Headset. So it really doesn't matter what your Internet speed is. And that's why I think it's great, your Internet speeds will still be what they are, but you won't have latency issues since you are directly connecting to your PC, and just using the Internet on your PC after that for online games. Hope that makes sense!
For those that no, knowing this is not a wifi 6e router...is it an inferior experience if you already have other 5GHz SSID's running through your walls?
Correct - this is just WiFi 6, but since its a dedicated connection WiFi 6 is perfectly fine. Wifi 6e is nice if you plan to use it as your home connected as well as for playing VR, but in my mind a dedicated connection is always best as it would not be affected by the typical traffic hitting your home network. You could always try to use one of your existing 5ghz connections, but my expectation is that you could have an inconsistent experience.
I think the most cool thing is you can capture card PS5 or another system and basically play it natively in virtual desktop in a movie theater environment then when your eyes start to drag move on over to the PlayStation Portal 😁
Something else cool you can do with a capture card is use the lossless scaling app with any console and "boost" your fps and "upscale" the image. I use quotations because it's all an illusion but it's still a nice experience
Looking into purchasing the router but just wondering two things - 1. I use Ethernet but my connection is very poor, my router is only 2.4ghz and I get about 10 down. Will that affect the router in anyway or will it still be good quality? 2. Does the quest 3 remain connected to WiFi while airlinked using the router? I like to use meta voice calls to talk with friends while pc linked. Any help is appreciated, great review!
The Puppis just connects to your PC directly, so its separate from your actual network. It creates a dedicated connection to your PC just for the Quest to connect to it. Outside of that, once you are in games, you will be using your current router. You can also connect the Puppis to your WiFi so you can have be online on your Quest while also connected to your PC.
The puppis s1 seems to be very unstable. It works good so far for the most time but then around all 15 seconds it goes totally crazy and my latency is getting so bad that it almost freezes completely.
@@jBahrVRSorry for the late response. No It's just 2-3 meter away from me. It seems that "Internet Sharing" help for some reason, a guy told me he had to do the same because otherwise it would go forth back from 5ghz to 2.5ghz for some reason... So you don't have this activated at all?
Hey Alex - I dont really use Airlink these days, I suggest using Steam Link now, as its MUCH better and I have had zero issues connecting. The Steam Link app is free on the Quest store. Also, make sure you have your Quest connected to the Puppis in the Wifi settings.
Your PC's internet connection can be anything. The Puppis just creates a dedicated connection directly to your PC for your Quest to connect to. Once its connected from there, its just using whatever your PC uses for internet.
Hey, I have a brief question - My computer works for occur, although a bit slow, but I had been choosing to use a wire for my connection. Do you know if switching to this external router would affect performance? I don’t have much wiggle room when it comes to this sorta stuff.
Well the point of the Puppis is that it creates a direct connection to your PC, so it doesn't matter what the rest of your network is like. You just need to be able to be near your PC where the Puppis is to have a good connection.
Just got my PrismXR Puppis1 and I have been struggling for the past 2 hours trying to set it up....been following the instructions to the T but no luck....downloaded the desktop app and windows says it is a virus. Adjusted the security just like they said i should and still it does not work! i am so fed up with this thing that i am about to throw it against the wall!!! It connected thru the mobile app for a minute and cant get it to pair again!! what a piece of crap i bought!!
Sorry to hear you are having issues with it, I have not had any problems getting it to connect. Did you figure this out yet or are you still unable to get it to work?
@@jBahrVR it took me less than two minutes to get this set up, and I was in virtual desktop. Threw the D Link away for being actual garbage a few days ago so it's nice there is a solution . I was using a wifi repeater for a while, but the puppis is way better overall. The wifi repeater would only do 1200 in virtual desktop
I honestly am not sure why there would be negative reviews, I still use the Puppis to this day, and I still think it's an incredible option for steady, PCVR.
I have not done this myself yet, but that is what the manual says. Also, not sure if they would recommend this, but I have not seen any negative side effects. After setup, I just unplugged the USB 2.0 part, leaving only the 3.0 plugged in and it works fine :)
This is the error I'm getting. I have no idea.An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled. Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled. A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing.
Thanks for the great review,I'm really interested in the s1 wifi link i so call it,just one question,do you have to do the setup each time you use it,or just setup once and everything works.also if you were playing a installed game on the quest 3,then needed to do a update does the computer have to be on for it to use the internet.thankyou in advance.cheers
It depends on your situation, but the Puppis creates a dedicated connection straight to your PC. It won't be affected by things going on in your home Network like your home router could.
@@jBahrVR It's why I always buy the Gaming Routers as they are set up to prioritise game systems over Mobile Phones and TV's or other PC's, most Routers if people do a little reading will have settings able to be set for prioritising certain devices over others as well as limiting or increasing bandwidth, unless of course you have a really nasty cheap Router. I think Puppis and devices like it are dependent on dumb people with no I.T Skill, if they can connect an external device I am sure they can learn to read the instructions for their router, or maybe even watch a UA-cam on how to set up their Router, or maybe even use the Money the Puppis would have cost and add it to the price of a much better router for their Home as a WiFi 6 Home Router helps everyone not just the Headset user ? Just a thought since I am an older and wiser Male that isn't worried just about myself all the time ;)
Nope - you connect it directly to your PC. You can connect it to your home router if you want to be able to use it like a hotspot or access point, but I do not have mine connected to my router.
Have yet to test with Q3. But with Q2 I just crossed the 12hr line. D.O.E is the most draining game I've played so far on Q3 besides Assassin's Creed. And it held the battery solid for 1-2 1/2 hours at 83% (But I had to hop off early) So I didn't get a full test run lol! @@jBahrVR
@@jBahrVR allright,I'm not in a hurry to buy it since I have a dedicated router but this would be great in case one day I can't pay for the internet 😅😅 let me know when they are ready
The Puppis itself does not need to connect to Wifi, but your PC its connected to would need an internet connection in order for you to play VR Games online when using the Puppis to connect for PCVR.
Yes this is a sponsored video, but it's also a review. I wasn't told or asked to say good things, and I make it clear in any of my collabs that it will be my honest take. I suppose it's up to you from there on how you want to trust the information. I still use the Vega T1s and Puppis as daily drivers during my streams, which I would not do if I thought they were not good products.
The Puppis looks promising… what’s your overall latency when playing games via Virtual Desktop with it? I average roughly 50ms on my TP-Link Deco mesh setup but I do have to tune down my other settings and streaming bitrate (40 mbps) to achieve that though. So curious how latency is for you
Those custom power banks are stupid and to expensive, just use couple of normal power banks with good wattage and you just swap them, never running out of power.
Not understanding this comment. Yes these are reviews, and yes there are affiliated links. I also got paid to do the review, but I reviewed all of the products honestly as I would do with anything else. This is how content creators make money... I stream every week, and to this day I am still using the Vega t1 earbuds and the Puppis for Wireless PCVR. I wouldn't still be using these products if they were not good.
Sorry man. I play games 3 nights a week live on UA-cam, Twitch, and TikTok. So I reserve my long form videos for more tech reviews. I do plan to start posting gameplay compilations at some point as well.
For pcvr the router matters a lot. It impacts frame rates and visual clarity. Some people say the wifi they got from their isp is enough and others may have issues. It's all a big hassle tbh
I just got the Puppis S1, and it feels so good to be able to play PCVR wirelessly and without feeling any noticeable lag.
A very nice detail that is not mentioned here, you do NOT need to be connected to the internet for this device to work.
Obviously, if you want to play something online you will need to be connected; but the connection will not be affected by the streaming.
Wait so I can play wireless vr offline?

Technically this could help with that. Virtual desktop would be using your direct connection to the Puppis and your PC, while your Internet comes from your wireless connection between your PC and router.
@ I’d just tried the D-Link VR Airbridge and had to send it back. It was terrible so this would seem like the next best thing. I couldn’t get Virtual Desktop to run on the Airbridge though.
@@_od_7825 Yeah I also briefly tried the D-Link dongle and it never worked well for me.
this guy for sure ties ppl to train tracks
Only during my free time
Of course. It's good to segregate your time. Plus you're never going to catch sonic if you are not 100% dialed in. Work comes first.
can more than 1 headset connect to this device? im guessing yes but just want to make sure
Yes, if you use it as a 5Ghz hot-spot. Don't use the prism mode as it only uses the 2.4Ghz band and is designed for a single headset connection.
what grey face cushions are those? they look comfy
Sorry for late reply! That is not a full face cushion, its a cloth cover from VRCover. It is nice and a little more comfy than the standard.
Do you think that I can connect 4 Quest 2 at the same time at the same place and playing PCVR games without issues?
So is this the best option if I am not able to connect my pc via ethernet to my home router?
Not really, this isn't a substitute for your Internet connection on your PC. But if you have a strong wireless connection to your PC, then this would help create a good connection between your quest and your PC, which would then use the same wireless you currently have on your PC if that makes sense. Versus both your PC and your Headset needing to go through your home router and back without the Puppis.
Is this compatible with the new Quest 3S?
Sure is!
can i use usb3 and usb2 active extension cable with than something like 15feat ,to extend little bit play in another room without losing signal
I assume you could but I have not tested that. It works with a USB C cable and then you only need the one connection. So if you use I high speed USBC to USBC cable then I would assume that would work without issues.
Am I supposed to connect the Puppis WiFi to both my VR headset and my PC WiFi? I seem to be having a lot of trouble getting the Prism Mode to work.
You just need to connect to the Puppis from your VR headset. You shouldn't have to change anything else.
For me my school wifi runs on a vpn all the time so i am not able to connect to like steam or quest link at all on their wifi. Would the puppis vr change that since im connecting the quest to the pc and not both having them on wifi?@@jBahrVR
I’m buying all of these next week
Great to hear! I have been using the Puppis and Vega T1s as daily drivers at this point. Wonderful devices. Use the links in the video description here if you can - it would mean a lot :)
Hi! I have a question about the battery strap as thats what led me here.
So I bought my quest 3 last Christmas and with it i bought the elite strap with the battery. Now after using it i have noticed that the battery connects briefly then disconnects.
Now even if it were fixed i would have the problem where its supplying 18 watts where the quest 3 requires 19.5
So a no go.
Then I heard prismxr has a 30 watt carry on charger.
So my main question is, have you ever had the quest 3 disconnect from the battery pack? Like it just refuses to connect? Cause if not then this will solve all my family game night problems.
The rest of the products are just icing on the cake.
Thank you
Hello! I have used this battery strap a handful of times and have never had an issue with it disconnecting while I play. Hopefully this helps!
The prism VR stopped working after a week 😢
That's no good! Mine is still going strong so far. Hopefully you can get a replacement!
HMD not connected when I use air link 😭
What if it keeps turning orange instead of solid blue?
adding this to mys hopping list.but my isp router is working well enough, so wont upgrade until i have some extra money to burn.
heya! thank you for the review of the products, I actually really appreciate it. two small questions
currently i was looking to get a dedicated pcvr streaming router for my quest 3, butttt i just saw that the puppis s1 is a thing. should i just go for the s1 to make things easier ?
2nd question is, how long does the battery for the vega t1 last?
thanks in advance c:
Hello!
1st Question: I do think the Puppis S1 makes it incredibly easy to do wireless PCVR, so if you are looking for a more "plug-n-play" solution, I think it's the best option out there now.
2nd Question: They each have 63 mAH batteries and should last around 6 hours.
Hope this helps!
@@jBahrVR gotcha! thanks for all the help ^^
So about the USB, on my computer I have 2 slots that have a blue thingy in them, and one slot that has a grey thingy in it? would it be ok to plug both of them into the blue ones?
Also sorry but would I need to sign in with my internet provider if I am just using it for wireless streaming to my quest 2?
Yup that's fine! Mostly you just need at least one blue (USB 3.0) slot to connect their USB 3.0 connection to. You should be good to go!
I can't figure out how to disconnect the internet on the app. Any Ideas?
They recently added a desktops app for Windows on their site to help manage the Puppis. I do not have it connected to WiFi so I haven't tested that yet but it may help you disconnect it.
In regards to Vega T1 - I own the soundcore and feel like they don’t get loud enough. If you own the soundcore VR buds could you weigh in on the overall volume differences between the two?
Also, is there an audio passthrough on the Vegas to allow the user to hear their own voice? (Similar to transparency mode on AirPods?). Thanks!
I do not own the soundcore buds, but can say on the default setting these feel plenty loud enough. You also have the VegaBlast option to increase it more if needed.
There is not a passthrough mode on the Vega T1s.
Hope this helps!
@@jBahrVR thank you for the info! Rock on! 🤘
Also the Vega T1 dongle supports a maximum of 27W PD pass-through, ensuring full-speed charging for the Quest 2/3.
Hey jBahr! I found your video really helpful. I have a quick question - I typically connect my PC via ethernet. Do I NEED to be using wifi in order for the Puppis to function properly? My wifi isn’t the best which is why I prefer the hardline. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
Hello! So the Puppis just creates a direct wireless connection to your PC, it's entirely separate from how your PC gets Internet. I also have my PC hardwired.
You still use whatever Internet connection your PC has to play games and all that :)
@@jBahrVR Thank you, sir!
hey J I think it isn't your style but there could be a whole other video on how to get the audio is setup while wireless. The mic issue especially. Just a simple request from a simple man.
Just replied to you in discord - I have been using steam link since I go the Puppis so I might have to test to see how to set it up for VD :)
@@jBahrVR oh you know I’m in the DC. Thanks dude!
Hey there, very nice video, thank you for the reviews :)
Iam in that spot, where money isn‘t the factor to find the best solution.. so do you think the Puppis S1 is there a better Option for wireless PCVR (if money wasn’t the factor to consider)? Wouldn’t a more expensive wireless router with wifi 6e (only used to connect my pc with my quest 3) achieve a better result? How is the latency in pcvr like HL:Alyx or Propagation.. can you do a follow-up video and show the numbers? Maybe (if your own system can provide) with at least a RTX 3000 or even better a 4000 series with av1?
Thanks in advance!
Good work, keep it up!
Yes, I do believe you would technically get more bandwidth and speeds out of a higher end dedicated wifi 6e router, however, using the Puppis I have had zero issues when streaming with the highest settings in Virtual Desktop. So the extra cost/performance seems like overkill more than anything.
I typically get around 30-40ms for latency, which I have not noticed in game at all. I can definitely try to post a video when I can here. I monitor it frequently during my streams and have yet to have it fail for me :)
Hope this helps!
Also, I am on a 4090 currently and using AV1.
@@jBahrVR thank you so much for your answer! It helped a lot.. we will see how I decide in the end, but puppis seems to be a great solution over all :) thank you man!
@@feschuh You bet! I like that I could easily move the puppis from my gaming PC to my gaming laptop if needed, and I wasn't at home. Which is much more difficult when you have to network in a router depending on where you are.
Not everyone's use case but also worth mentioning as to why I prefer it over a full router setup.
@@jBahrVR That may explain why my performance is lackluster-I got a single fan EVGA 2080 super. No AV1 there lol.
Bear with me, I’m not super tech savvy, but know enough to get me by. I’m also relatively new to the gaming scene at 42 lol… I played my share of madden in my teens but that’s about as deep as my gaming went. With that being said, the quest has sucked me into the gaming world rather quickly- more specifically, pop one in particular. Can’t get enough of it.
My first question is in regards to the Puppis. I noticed you mentioned plugging it into your PC. I run my quest 3 stand alone, not through a PC. So would the Puppis still benefit me? And what would set up entail in my case? Would I hook it up to my existing router or modem? Like I said, I’m far from experienced in this realm lol.
Second question- I already have an aftermarket head strap with battery pack for my Q3, but am intrigued by the belt battery pack. I definitely don’t get 5 hours with my current setup. My question is- could I run prismvr battery to my aftermarket head strap as it’s currently set up (essentially adding 5 hours to my current 2.5 hours). Or should I just bypass the aftermarket connection and just run it right to Q3.
Sorry for the long winded questions. Love your reviews and love how responsive you are to questions. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work man.
Hello! VR is a great way to get back into gaming, happy you are enjoying it.
Regarding the Puppis, it is only for creating a direct connection to your PC to play PCVR games, no benefit/use for standalone VR.
For the Battery Pack, I think it would work either way. However, depending on the speed of charging your quest strap provides, your quest might drain the battery too fast. Personally I would keep it simple and just have one battery plugged directly into the Quest. But no harm in trying both options to see what happens :)
and do you ususally connect to the S1 in pulse mode? and/or what of those 3 options do you usually use?
Thanks for checking out the video! Still use it to this day and it's always in the prism pulse mode for me. And I just have it connected to my gaming PC via the USB cables, and not hooked up to my Internet.
Then I just connect to the prism router on my quest 3, load up steam link, and I'm good to go!
@@jBahrVR I'm assuming this would work with air link from quest 3 headset also? Thanks again! and great info!
@@derekswitzer9624 Yes of course! Works with Airlink, Steam Link, and Virtual Desktop. I have just been favoring Steam Link.
I have an ASUS AX3000 router. I run my Ethernet cable directly into that. Then that plugs into my PC. I then connect my Quest to the AX3000. Would the Puppis be an improvement somehow?
Connectivity wise probably not much of a difference. The benefit here for most folks is that you can just plug the puppis directly into your PC and you dont need to worry about networking it in with your home router/switch.
This is just a simpler setup as you can just plug it directly into your PC via USB.
Hey I'm kinda curious, my internet is 250mbps and is capped at 2.4hz will that make puppis not able to go to 5hz ?
No it can still have a 5Ghz connection, the Puppis is meant to create a high speed, stable connection between your PC and your Headset. So it really doesn't matter what your Internet speed is. And that's why I think it's great, your Internet speeds will still be what they are, but you won't have latency issues since you are directly connecting to your PC, and just using the Internet on your PC after that for online games. Hope that makes sense!
@@jBahrVR Thanks bro you guys are life savers 🙏
For those that no, knowing this is not a wifi 6e router...is it an inferior experience if you already have other 5GHz SSID's running through your walls?
Correct - this is just WiFi 6, but since its a dedicated connection WiFi 6 is perfectly fine. Wifi 6e is nice if you plan to use it as your home connected as well as for playing VR, but in my mind a dedicated connection is always best as it would not be affected by the typical traffic hitting your home network.
You could always try to use one of your existing 5ghz connections, but my expectation is that you could have an inconsistent experience.
All i got is limited cellphone internet and i'm not always connected to The internet will this work for Wireless quest 3 to PC gaming ?
Yeah it would work fine but you would still be limited to games that don't require Internet
Congrats on the stache 👌
Thanks Brother
I think the most cool thing is you can capture card PS5 or another system and basically play it natively in virtual desktop in a movie theater environment then when your eyes start to drag move on over to the PlayStation Portal 😁
Something else cool you can do with a capture card is use the lossless scaling app with any console and "boost" your fps and "upscale" the image. I use quotations because it's all an illusion but it's still a nice experience
Looking into purchasing the router but just wondering two things -
1. I use Ethernet but my connection is very poor, my router is only 2.4ghz and I get about 10 down. Will that affect the router in anyway or will it still be good quality?
2. Does the quest 3 remain connected to WiFi while airlinked using the router? I like to use meta voice calls to talk with friends while pc linked.
Any help is appreciated, great review!
The Puppis just connects to your PC directly, so its separate from your actual network. It creates a dedicated connection to your PC just for the Quest to connect to it. Outside of that, once you are in games, you will be using your current router.
You can also connect the Puppis to your WiFi so you can have be online on your Quest while also connected to your PC.
The puppis s1 seems to be very unstable. It works good so far for the most time but then around all 15 seconds it goes totally crazy and my latency is getting so bad that it almost freezes completely.
Thats odd - I still use mine regularly and it hasnt skipped a beat. Are you going too far from the Puppis when playing?
@@jBahrVRSorry for the late response. No It's just 2-3 meter away from me. It seems that "Internet Sharing" help for some reason, a guy told me he had to do the same because otherwise it would go forth back from 5ghz to 2.5ghz for some reason...
So you don't have this activated at all?
it wont conect to air link for me we have tried everything can someone help me
Hey Alex - I dont really use Airlink these days, I suggest using Steam Link now, as its MUCH better and I have had zero issues connecting. The Steam Link app is free on the Quest store. Also, make sure you have your Quest connected to the Puppis in the Wifi settings.
can your pc be on Wifi or does it have to be connected directly to a modem?
Your PC's internet connection can be anything. The Puppis just creates a dedicated connection directly to your PC for your Quest to connect to. Once its connected from there, its just using whatever your PC uses for internet.
Buying this in the hopes that I can play Steam Link without needing to get a 5.0GHz Router.
I've been using the Puppis still consistently with steam link and it's been amazing.
Make sure to use my link/code if you can 😉
Hey, I have a brief question - My computer works for occur, although a bit slow, but I had been choosing to use a wire for my connection. Do you know if switching to this external router would affect performance? I don’t have much wiggle room when it comes to this sorta stuff.
Well the point of the Puppis is that it creates a direct connection to your PC, so it doesn't matter what the rest of your network is like. You just need to be able to be near your PC where the Puppis is to have a good connection.
Just got my PrismXR Puppis1 and I have been struggling for the past 2 hours trying to set it up....been following the instructions to the T but no luck....downloaded the desktop app and windows says it is a virus. Adjusted the security just like they said i should and still it does not work! i am so fed up with this thing that i am about to throw it against the wall!!! It connected thru the mobile app for a minute and cant get it to pair again!! what a piece of crap i bought!!
Sorry to hear you are having issues with it, I have not had any problems getting it to connect. Did you figure this out yet or are you still unable to get it to work?

Hopefully the Puppis is better than the D-Link VR bridge.
It is! I have and used the VR bridge a bit and it was always inconsistent for me. And I had to be much closer.
The Puppis is a massive improvement.
@@jBahrVR it took me less than two minutes to get this set up, and I was in virtual desktop. Threw the D Link away for being actual garbage a few days ago so it's nice there is a solution .
I was using a wifi repeater for a while, but the puppis is way better overall. The wifi repeater would only do 1200 in virtual desktop
@@GoblinArmyInYourWalls Awesome to hear it's also working great for you!
Does a link cable make it run better when using the Puppis?
You would not use a link cable with the Puppis, as the Puppis is meant to give you a wireless connection.
I love your mustache.

Seeing a lot of negative reviews on the puppis. What other better options are out there?
I honestly am not sure why there would be negative reviews, I still use the Puppis to this day, and I still think it's an incredible option for steady, PCVR.
So you're saying I can eliminate the splitter and just use a type c to type c right?
I have not done this myself yet, but that is what the manual says.
Also, not sure if they would recommend this, but I have not seen any negative side effects. After setup, I just unplugged the USB 2.0 part, leaving only the 3.0 plugged in and it works fine :)
This is the error I'm getting. I have no idea.An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was
being enabled.
Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled. A LAN
connection is already configured with the IP address that is
required for automatic IP addressing.
Thanks for the great review,I'm really interested in the s1 wifi link i so call it,just one question,do you have to do the setup each time you use it,or just setup once and everything works.also if you were playing a installed game on the quest 3,then needed to do a update does the computer have to be on for it to use the internet.thankyou in advance.cheers
My Router has WiFi 6 built in, why is this adaptor better than my gaming Router ?
It depends on your situation, but the Puppis creates a dedicated connection straight to your PC. It won't be affected by things going on in your home Network like your home router could.
@@jBahrVR It's why I always buy the Gaming Routers as they are set up to prioritise game systems over Mobile Phones and TV's or other PC's, most Routers if people do a little reading will have settings able to be set for prioritising certain devices over others as well as limiting or increasing bandwidth, unless of course you have a really nasty cheap Router.
I think Puppis and devices like it are dependent on dumb people with no I.T Skill, if they can connect an external device I am sure they can learn to read the instructions for their router, or maybe even watch a UA-cam on how to set up their Router, or maybe even use the Money the Puppis would have cost and add it to the price of a much better router for their Home as a WiFi 6 Home Router helps everyone not just the Headset user ? Just a thought since I am an older and wiser Male that isn't worried just about myself all the time ;)
do you think Puppis S1 will work in türkiye
I dont see why not
Thanks, jBahr!
Does the Puppis S1 require your home wifi router?
Nope - you connect it directly to your PC. You can connect it to your home router if you want to be able to use it like a hotspot or access point, but I do not have mine connected to my router.
@@jBahrVR Thank You
Nice! But I have fun rocking a 20k Mah external battery.
Wow - you must have some long play sessions! I have only used up to 10k mAH. How many hours do you get out of a 20k?
Have yet to test with Q3. But with Q2 I just crossed the 12hr line. D.O.E is the most draining game I've played so far on Q3 besides Assassin's Creed. And it held the battery solid for 1-2 1/2 hours at 83%

Does Puppis s1 require wifi thank you for your time
The Puppis itself does not need to connect to Wifi, but your PC its connected to would need an internet connection in order for you to play VR Games online when using the Puppis to connect for PCVR.
Do you have to pay monthly for it?
No not at all. The device itself doesnt provide internet or anything like that, it provides a network connection directly to your PC.
@@jBahrVR oh ok thanks
what a shame it is an ad not a review, actually interested in those products and price seems reasonable. oh well.
Yes this is a sponsored video, but it's also a review. I wasn't told or asked to say good things, and I make it clear in any of my collabs that it will be my honest take. I suppose it's up to you from there on how you want to trust the information.
I still use the Vega T1s and Puppis as daily drivers during my streams, which I would not do if I thought they were not good products.
The Puppis looks promising… what’s your overall latency when playing games via Virtual Desktop with it?
I average roughly 50ms on my TP-Link Deco mesh setup but I do have to tune down my other settings and streaming bitrate (40 mbps) to achieve that though. So curious how latency is for you
I typically have around 45ms on god like settings and 200mbps maxed.

All these "reviews" are nothings but affiliated link videos.
Not understanding this comment. Yes these are reviews, and yes there are affiliated links. I also got paid to do the review, but I reviewed all of the products honestly as I would do with anything else. This is how content creators make money...

Where’s the games at? Just not tech.. I’d sub but you seem to just do tech side..
Sorry man. I play games 3 nights a week live on UA-cam, Twitch, and TikTok. So I reserve my long form videos for more tech reviews. I do plan to start posting gameplay compilations at some point as well.
because this video isnt a game related video?
Isnt it just a wifi router? whats unique about it? Sound just gamery marketing bullshit frankly.
For pcvr the router matters a lot. It impacts frame rates and visual clarity. Some people say the wifi they got from their isp is enough and others may have issues. It's all a big hassle tbh
