Apologies if this is a known issue but thought the community might have an answer. I just got a quest recently and I’ve noticed if my PC is also connected to the same WiFi signal that it will suddenly cut the entire apartment off from internet. If I put my laptop into sleep mode then it goes back to normal.
This is a very strange issue! A few other notes if helpful:
both are on a 5G SSID
I’ve got a few other connected devices around like a Sonos system.
laptop is a pretty new Razer Blade 15
Any advice would be amazing as it is a huge bummer that I can’t use my PC with my quest for things like virtual desktop without breaking my apartment internet. My initial theory is the guardian system is messing up the signal because I have an Oculus Go and have no issues like this with that headset.
Thank you for any guidance in advance this is so frustrating!
Connecting to Ethernet is likely not an option. I also have a 200mbps connection

You ideally want the PC connected by Ethernet to get acceptable performance.

While certainly true for most people - I've had some really good luck and performance with the computer on wifi. However, I'm getting really good signal, about -50dBm to the computer and the Quest and they are the only things on the 5g. Before I adjusted things a bit and my signal was in the -60's the interface lag was a bit much with frequent stuttering. Now it's almost on par with Link - the biggest difference is there is less compression with Link and the graphics are a tiny bit clearer with no artifacts. The bonus though is of course no tether and VD seems to initiate without drama. Link in it's current form is a flip of a coin to see if it's going to work without unplugging/replugging and full restarts and muttered prayers.

Im not sure what’s going on with your wifi, but I wanted to mention that if you want to stream PCVR games with Virtual Desktop, that won’t work well with the laptop on wifi. You ideally want the PC connected by Ethernet to get acceptable performance.
