Resolved - Quest Airlink lags and stutters after V54 update.

[v1rtualv0id]

Been using Quest pro with airlink for 4 months now without any issues whatsoever.

After the headset was updated to V54 I'm having headset lag/connection issues on airlink.

Screen is stuttery at times when moving in my playspace or moving my head, the image gets laggy, choppy and black frames appear on the side of the screen oposite to where I'm moving my head.

Image quality has degraded significantly with lots of "artifacts".

This makes casual games like VR chat hard to play due to constant lag and stutter, games like Beat Saber are impossible to play.

I havent changed a single thing in my playspace nor my setup, router config is the same as when it was working, PC is the same, no update has been applied to any of this. 

Any advice would be much appreciated as Im lost on what to do.

Just in case

Specs 

CPU I9 12900k

32GB Ram

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080TI

Router: TP-link AX1500 Wifi 6 dedicated just to the headset.

Since upgrading to v54 when I use airlink I see a flickering X and it is blinking continuously.
You can see the oculus home, and it works, but this flashing X keeps appearing and disappearing. I can't work Please Help me

I don't know if it's the same thing but I've seen several reports of wifi issues with v54 (including from the developer of Virtual Desktop) and the only current fix is the old staple of a factory reset. If you are enrolled in PTC, try dropping out.

Nope. I tried hard factory reset, uninstall, quit and reinstall PTC, nithong.

this is the video of the issue :

this is the problem

Great, something new broken for me to look forward to when I inevitably get v54 shortly. It's reported everywhere right now Reddit, VD developer on Twitter, this forum.

The word is that Meta messed up the beamforming algorithms for the WiFi in v54, hence the problems people are now experiencing. Again, why have a PTC and then just push broken builds out as stable regardless. Smh.

Same issue man 

I don't know what is wrong with oculus

[Raycid]

Had no updates on the oculus pc app itself so I did end up uninstalling the driver i had cause I already checked to see if there were updates prior and there wasn't. Even after uninstalling the driver and installing it again and  following those steps its still acting exactly the same as it did before.

Same issue on Quest 2, when trying to do Factory reset it just downloads all updates on start. How can I disable auto-update?

I was on v.54 in public test. Went out of public test, then back to v.53 and problem is gone. So its really related to v.54

Same problem here... change bitrate don't fix anything. Problem is v.54. Went back to v.53 and problem is gone.
