So I found out that oculus released a air link (really useful so I don’t have to buy a cable) when I first used it, it was extremely laggy I couldn’t move and everything was so weird looking I had to shut down my oculus to get back home. I tried again today but this time it was just a black screen with 3 dots loading and loading. I could hear my desktop notifications but I couldn’t see anything. I’m really frustrated cause I read a lot of articles and YouTube tutorials and nothing helped me, my old headset it’s better and it’s older than the oculus. The oculus has so many issues I’m so frustrated please help

Does your PC and wifi connection meet the requirements for Airlink?

You need your PC to be connected to your router via an Ethernet cable.
Only the Quest headset connects to the router wirelessly (over a 5GHz wireless connection).
This is due to the speed required for the high bandwidth usage to sustain AirLink.

Ok thanks I’ll test it

What are the actual PC specs too? If you go by manufacturers descriptions or the Steam VR performance test, you may well be disappointed in the real world.

There good and I have a HTC vive that connects to my computer so vr runs smoothly on my PC I probably just need that Ethernet thing

Some aspects of your PC might work well on a PCVR headset but cripple performance on Quest. For example, Link and Airlink absolutely require high performance hardware video encoding from your GPU. Do you have that?
This is why the actual PC spec matters.

I use to be able to play oculus vr idk what happened

I'm afraid if you aren't going to post specs, I'm not going to be able to provide advice. The Vive and Quest present VR to your headset, and tax the GPU, in completely different ways (and Quest is quite a bit more demanding with higher resolution displays anyway).
Hope you get it fixed.
