Quest 3 Air link got pretty laggy in Unity VR

I need some help regarding if there as anyway to get rid of the lag and some graphical issues in the quest 3 Air Link when running unity. My wifi isn' the strongest, but it can run quest games and apps fine.
 
Is a link cable for quest link a better option?

    Hi there!

    Thank you for posting your query here, it can sometimes be quite tricky trying to troubleshoot the best results with an air link connection.

    If all things are equal- good recommended setups for both air link, and link cable, the wired setup has slightly improved graphics and FPS.

     

    Using the air link can sometimes cause streaming artifacts and pixelization, as the quality of the stream is dynamic while using Air Link. 

    The full fidelity video feed created by a PC would require significant network bandwidth to recreate on the Quest; if you are interested in the highest fidelity experience you might want to invest in a Link cable.

     

    Some best practices to consider when using the air link;

    • Have the PC connected to Router/Access Point via Ethernet cable and not Wi-Fi
    • Headset should be connected to Wi-Fi via 5GHz band (AC or AX)
    • Router in the same room as the headset or in line-of-sight, and at least 1m (3.3ft) off the ground
    • Non-mesh network configuration

    If you have any questions, or concerns please let us know. We will do the best we can to resolve any problems you might encounter.

    Thanks very much!
