Terrible lag with VR Air Bridge

ted.callahan.1

Received my VR Air Bridge the other day and installed it but it's lagging to the point it's unusable.  It's working no better than crappy Air Link on my gigabit network.  As a matter of fact, the lag with Air Bridge as bad as with Air Link.  I have an Omen 15 on ethernet that runs great with my Quest 2 using Virtual Desktop.

 

Have updated Quest 2 and reinstalled Oculus software multiple times.  Tried all the identified troubleshooting for the Air Bridge.  Troubleshooting the Air Bridge connection on the Quest 2 shows everything is compliant (green) and working.  It connects fine, but lags like crazy to the point that movement is impossible on the home screen.

 

Need help or I need to return this thing...

Hey there! We understand you're experiencing some lag when using Air Bridge. We want to know if you have the Air Bridge device away from your router?

I am having the same issues with mine that I just got. Everything links up but the lag is terrible and it’s usable. Everything worked great when it was hard wired to comp.

I figured it out

You have to change two settings in your debug tool. They are dynamic bite rate max set to 0 and encode bite rate (mbps) set to 0 works great for me now no more lag 

Awesome.  That fixed it right up for me too!  

👍 nice feels good when something works like it should. Sad it even has to be done that way 

I figure I fiddled around with the tray tool.  They can't support everything.  What I need to do is remember to set things back to default when troubleshooting.
