Quest 3 network speed not consistent, other devices are OK

[mrcobra2008]

Hi guys. Does anyone have an idea why only my quest 3 has problems with network speed consistency?

Details: I am measuring network speed between Quest 3 and my PC and I noticed that speed is inconsistent, speed graph looks like periodic waves (first picture). However, when I measure the speed between my phone (or other devices) and my PC I do not see any waves on a graph and everything looks consistent, and this is on exact same router and network (second picture). I measured speed in exact same location. The impact of these waves that I sometimes see stutters when I move my head and also during high pace games.

Setup: TP-Link Archer AXE75, 5Ghz, 80 Mhz. PC is wired to a router. I also tried another router and saw the same result: Quest 3 has waves on a network speed graph, while other devices do not have that. This points to some problems only with Quest 3. I tried factory reset but no changes. SW is v64. I also tried 6ghz and both 160/80Mhz bandwidth, no impact.

Any help from meta?

Hey @mrcobra2008, I noticed that you have some inquiries about the network speed when using your headset's connection from the PC. I want to see if we can work together and try to isolate out any variables that might contribute to the spike and dip. Can you let me know if you get the same results on a few different ping testing websites and with another network as well? If we can replicate this issue, it would help narrow down where to start looking for troubleshooting steps.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi @ShiroTenko, thanks for the reply
I was monitoring the issue for around 4 days and yesterday evening these waves disappeared on their own. I checked it today and the connection is still stable. I didn't do anything which is strange because I would rather know the root cause than accept some magic under the hood.
However, I am not sure what else can be done here

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure either, but if it pops up again just reply to me on here and we can see how we can isolate it. Let's just hope it behaves and stay stable 😊.
