For British Users - Sky Has a Wifi 6 Router

[Hiro_Protag0nist]

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and thought some of the British VR contingent would be very interested.

It looks like they released a new router in July which does WiFi 6 - this can be a game changer for anybody using Air Link.

I think it's £10 a month on top of whatever you're paying and it's called WiFi Max.  

I haven't looked into it greatly but will be soon.  I'll let you make your own investigations and see if it's worth it.

If you already have it, please let us know if it's any good, ta!

That's interesting Hiro. I remember when the pro originally launched and it had a few problems with Virtual desktop with higher latency. Good to hear things were ironed out, I was so close a few times on the pro.

Sounds like I'll have to get a 6e router although I'd guess that 6ghz is that bit worse at penetrating walls than 5. My signal goes through the floor to my play area but there is an Rsj there too, it just about works

"all the money you need to spend for Wifi 6" - how much is that?  Not a lot really.

But being able to get great Air Link is a bonus, something on top of having a great standalone HMD that is so comfortable to use, no cables dragging over your neck, shoulders.  Something you can take around the world with you.

Well worth it in my book.
