I have a Oculus Quest 2 and I have tried streaming the games from my PC wirelessly. It works good enough for Beat Saber to just a play a game or two to kill a few minutes but trying to play Pavlov VR and H3VR (Hotdogs Horseshoes and Handgrenades) it stutters pretty bad periodically. I think the issues could be my router/modem combo. I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk C7000v2, and I am thinking of picking up the TP Link Archer AX21 to add to the router to let the headset connect through Wifi 6. Would the Wifi 6 speeds be bottlenecked since it still needs to go through the Netgear router/modem? Also would I have to get with my ISP (I have Cox) about adding the router onto my network even though there will only be one Modem on the network?
I believe I have confirmed the issue is not with the PC since I can run it fine through the Oculus link cable. I kinked the cable kinda bad and I would rather spend $100 on a router to play wirelessly than replace the $70 cable personally. I still works but sometimes it take about 5 minutes of adjusting the cable to get it to connect properly. My PC that is streaming it is connected to my current router with a CAT5 ethernet cable and I have tested the headset by playing within 5 feet of the Netgear router and the issue still persists. My machine has a Ryzen 5 2600, ASRock B450M Steel Legend MOBO, RTX 2060 super, 16GB of ram at 3200mhz, and only has SSDs.
I currently work a help desk position, but my understanding of networking past the basics is spotty. I am not afraid to dig into settings and make changes if that could solve the situation I just don't know where to start with that idea.
Edit: To clarify on the testing with the Oculus link cable, it was tested on a machine with the same specs but a different board with a USB C port and a GTX 1070ti which is at worst barely worse than the RTX 2060 in terms of performance.
