Virtual Desktop with cable connection

I have read some posts here and there and found out, that Quest3 supports USB-Ethernet Adapter.

After some tests, the best adapter ist this: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0C3GHBLB6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

It works great, i can charge my quest at gaming and if i start at 95%...play a hour....i end at 95%.

It´s a absolut stable connection without interferences and i can use godlike with 500mbps!

(measured is ~480mbps, but 500mbps works without any problem)

 

For me the best PCVR link/experience i can get!

 

For use you need:

-developer account

-activated USB debugging

-DHCP in Router

 

Short summary:

-turn off WLAN in Quest 3

-LAN cable to router <> adapter

-PD to adapter

-Adapter to Quest 3

-Turn on and check if the store is loading without WLAN, then you know, it´s working

 

Greetings....ah, and if a meta developer read this: PLEASE DON`T TURN OFF THIS FEATURE!

    Andis3D you just saved my Q3 from being thrown to the bin. This 100% works flawlessly after I tried so many different Router and PC combinations and settings.

    Thank you! Now let´s wait how long it takes Meta to realize this and disable this like they did on Quest 2 *facepalm*

      I just checked. You can use Airlink. I personally use VD because Airlink is garbage in terms of visuals.

       

      I just boot up with the adapter plugged-in with the wifi switched off. No need to do any other switching back and forth.

    This is a brilliant solution!

    This adapter is super steady with an ethernet cable.

    Thanks!

    Thank you very very much! It’s like night and day! Better performance than cable link with VD visuals.

    Hello Andis3D, I'm trying to reach you about a topic you posted on a closed thread unrelated to this.  It was in regards to display port crashes and freezes. You mentioned with your Rift S and using MSI utility v3 to disable USB controller MSI. 

    My question(s) did this actually work long term? also, I am unsure if you meant the two AMD USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controllers or the NVIDIA USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller?

    Next step is trying a USB hub and then just going with OOT (Out of Warranty) Program if all else fails.
