Nothing on META. Nothing via Google. Nobody does this or what? It's a ghost town. I dug more and found the D-Link Air wifi device. Scant info about the whole thing. Does it require battery pack to use it wirelessly?
Thanks for posting into our forum with your question. I see that you are wanting to start using the air link for your Quest, which is great! If you need to know how you can go about setting this up, you can find all the information you need on our website for setting up and connecting Meta Quest link and air link.
In regards to the D-Link you had mentioned as well, you shouldn't require a battery pack to use it. We also have another article just for D-Link air bridges that will explain how they work, the minimum requirements you will need and also how to set them up.
I hope this answers all the questions you have on this but if not, please reach back out to us again and we'll be more than happy to answer any additional questions!

So when they say Air Link they mean the D-Link device? Only? I'm surprised there isn't much info about it anywhere. Finally found it here but it's not under the pull-downs with other accessories. I googled Meta Quest 3 Air Link and got hardly anything except a tech support article and links to usb cables and other things only.
Air Link is separate from a D-Link device and isn't a necessary component to use Air Link on your device, the D-Link is purely to help improve the connection should that be an issue for you.

There are two Link systems on the Quest headsets. Both work the same way, just a different connection type:
Link - Connect a PC to the Quest using a USB 3 cable.
Air Link - Connect a PC to the Quest using normal WIFI (best to use 5GHz channels).
On the PC end, you install the Meta Quest Link software. It supports both Link and Air Link (as well as Rift headsets).
On the Quest end, everything is built in, it's part of the operating system.
Once it's connected, your PC will be playing the VR games and streaming the video and audio to the Quest for display. PC VR games can have higher quality graphics due to more powerful graphics chips than a Quest.
The D-Link airbridge thing is just one WIFI device that Meta has verified works. It's not needed. I use an Asus WIFI router, but I've also just made a WIFI hotspot with my PC or laptop and used that (not all PCs can do 5GHz hotspots though, some limit to 2.4GHz which isn't as good for VR).
oh... ok... rrigh righ righ. I read about it and they said it's an expensive add-on. they made it sound like it was needed.
I'm not so interested in fun buit-in stuff like some old Kinetix Xbox games., but more high-end stuff. IF I say play Battlefield u can turn motion stuff off? I would rather my mouse control where I look/aim. Just investigating this stuff. Been years since I looked and I wasn't so interested in low-rez graphics but the idea of streaming PC stuff too it is interesting.
