so, Vr... Great stuff right? the one thing that kills it for me? Wires. just cant stand em, keep thinking there's a spider on my head even when there isn't one, i've tried and getting past it is a no go.
this leads me to get the VR Air Bridge from D-Link, Model number DWA-F18 its a wifi 6 access point for meta quest vr headsets, its purpose is this, act as a stable bridge for the quest 2 2 pro and 3 and 3s only for video audio and controller connection. this adapter in its intentional use does not provide internet.
now i hear you asking: why dont you just use your router as access point? the short answer is that its just too far away, also i would not get the same performance and would basically be left to the congested wifi 5 band. longer answer is my ethernet is very stable, and attempting to use vr in this configuration has failed, it caused too many issues and was not fixed no matter what steps i took to fix it.
the idea of not needing to rely on my router to get solid performance was too good of a deal to pass on (was cheap when on sale), the software was crap, but it worked. often when i connected to it, (mind you it doesn't share internet with my quest) worked often very well regardless of if i used steam-link vr app for quest, or if i used meta's pc vr app built into the quest.
the compression was similar to when it was wired, the latency was not noticeable for the most part.
i was wanting to repurpose this adapter in a similar way on bazzite, i want to entirely ditch windows 11, and never return, the goal i have is to turn my DWA-F18 into a wifi bridge that just acts as a internet-less connection for my quest 3 (so it can focus on streaming vr)
i also have unused wifi 6e built into my pc i have that on a large antenna in my vr room, if i can set up this similarly then i can free up a usb 3.2 port on the back of my pc and unplug the DWA-F18
is it possible to set up one of these devices to mimic or act similarly?
