When using wifi 6 on the 5ghz band, I found using 80 instead of 160 for channel width to work better, yes, it only allows for 1200mbps but seems to be much smoother. Problem with the 5ghz band, depending on your area, it's getting over saturated thus can be inconsistent, too many people on that band. I bought the TP-Link AXE5400 and it's been working like a dream on wifi 6e, this router is dedicated to Quest 3 only so 2.4 and 5ghz bands are disabled. The Quest 3 has been nice and smooth using this router on wifi 6e. :)
I believe i had the same experience. getting the wifi6e for me has made all the difference. besides getting a better headstap with better battery i would say the network upgrade is the next crucial upgrade to make.
I have an ASUS ROG Gt-AXE16000 and on both 5G and 6, I am getting consistent (almost every 30 seconds) WiFi instability issues. Virtual Desktop is showing 2401mbs but it still hiccups and drops frames for a second then it’s perfect again. No matter what I try, I am still having this issue. Any ideas? I have AT&T 1G fiber into the house/modem, modem to the ASUS, PC linked to ASUS via 10G wired connection and I am exactly 33” from my router lol. I keep feeling like it is going back to the headset itself but I’m exhausted at this point trying to figure it out. Thanks🙏🏻
@@Chaos6-1 I had a similar experience with my TP-Link AXE 7800. though i am not familar with the interface of the Asus ROG you are using i cna probably make a few suggestions from what i did on mine. First, my 6e router was dedicated to my Quest so i gave a separate SSID and password for the 6e router to connect the quest. Second, turn off 2.4/5Ghz on the router but keep on 6GHz. Third, Turn on TWT and smart connect but turn off OFDMA. these settings helped me keep my connection sable. good luck and please report back
@@gamingsessions77 so, I spent a long time today testing. My router is dedicated as well and is receiving 1G fiber, all speed tests look great (it’s wired). Tried all the tips, did a lot of back and forth, used the Virtual Desktop performance overly to monitor. I initially had great results but after 5 or so minutes into each iteration, I would start to get drops. Subtle at first with only 1-2 frames dropped, slight stutter. But then bigger drops of 15-20 frames and regular intervals of 30ish seconds. 😢 Have been emailing with Meta, they are aware of it and acknowledged they are still working to fix stability. At least they didn’t deny it 🤷 Thanks again for the tips!
I’ve been troubleshooting my jitter and stutter issues for about a month now using my quest three on Wi-Fi playing contractor showdown. Every three or four seconds I get a little jitter and everything kind of shakes a little bit for half a second and sometimes I will get a hard stutter and even the sound will cut out for a half a second and I’ll get a hard lag spike on occasion. I’m currently using a Wi-Fi router from ASUS the RT-AX82U. I’ve tried many things like enable the 160 GHz function which seems to cause more issues, I’ve disabled different things on the 5 GHz band on the network, but it doesn’t seem to really change anything. I’ve also made sure that all the firmware was updated on the router just to make sure it wasn’t something like that that was causing it. I know this is a five month old video, but do you think that it would benefit me to go out and get a 6E router to have the dedicated 6G channel?
I believe your are locked at 83 Mbps because you have the settings in Virtual Desktop set to automatic in the streamer app. Uncheck and you will be able to set the bitrate to whatever maximum you codec will allow. Also I would think that a router that advance should be able to push way past 2401 Mpbs at 5GHz.
That's the exact router I was considering for my next upgrade. The graphical fidelity is great on Link with my RTX 4090 & 7800x3D combo, but my internet speed is only around 80 Mbps with my ISP on 5Ghz, so I'm not sure if it's going to be worth upgrading to a 6Ghz router for me.
You internet speed doesn’t matter when you are running viirtual desktop since it’s internal. What’s important is that you plug your pc into a wired network

Is the performance monitor part of meta 3 options? How can I access it?

@@sal98 thanks. I updated my view with more of my findings that was a little more accurate. Please take a look at it
Insane, the price difference in Sweden is 2x, from 150$ -> 310$...

@@gamingsessions77 Gotcha, thanks for the video & info!
Background music is distracting and its unnecessarily annoying,just a heads up for you good work otherwise
