D-Link VR air bridge is HORRIBLE. Stay away for Quest 3.

Stay far away from the D-Link VR air bridge. The 1-star Amazon reviews are right. Connected once, almost right away. Connection was extremely laggy once Half Life Alyx started. Second time trying it, it kept timing out and couldn't reconnect, even after restarts. Exactly as the reviews stated...i was hoping maybe the users did something wrong, but nah. Making it even worse, you lose Internet connection.

 

For a little more you can get a decent router to use as an access point and your Quest can still easily have Internet access.

 

There is a chance that the Quest 3's own questionable WiFi systems are partially to blame, but as it is this product should be discontinued considering it's marketed as being able to create a fast reliable connection.

Hi there, @randommonk265! We're excited to see your interest in the Air Bridge, and we popped in to share some extra insight! Getting down to it, we're glad to let you know that the D-Link VR Air Bridge is currently available on the Meta Store right here. In order for it to be set-up on your Meta Quest desktop app, it would need to be plugged in directly to your PC. From there, you would get a pop-up notification to set it up on your desktop app. For more in-depth details on the set-up process, please check out this article and let us know if you have any further questions!
