Thank you for this demo and analysis. This is almost exactly my use case. For this price bracket, I'd rather have a stable router with thoughtfully designed firmware (Asus rt-ax58u) than the latest wifi standard (TP-Link axe5400) so long as the latency and image quality are good enough for the Quest 3.
Surprising how good these Broadcom routers are getting. However I always recommend a Qualcomm router for better reception and more firmware features. I stupidly got an AX20 with broadcom but it’s really not bad.
I dont understand why ac is better than ax. AX routers support 9.6Gbps while AC only supports speeds of 3.5Gbps, not only does Ax support higher speeds but also has lower latency and wider coverage as well as better security
@@andyoo2851 Support, stability, consistent signal, and just better overall hardware. Support and stability specifically are the main factors. Broadcom chips are closed source and are provided a minimal level of support. Security patches usually. Not to mention the ability to further update your router. But I wont say qualcomm will stay good. Qualcomm as of late, has the odd naming schemes, and have been raking in the dough. Going closed source in the future is definitely a possibility as its probably in their best interest to do so. However Mediatek is the best for the best all around support. They dont seem like they’re gonna go closed source any time soon. AX AC and all that stuff is just naming based on speeds. AX is the new standard and AC is the older slower one. Youll find all types of chips across the two standards.
@@curbthepain I assume you are talking about just this specific router as qualcom was first company to announce end-to-end commercial solutions supporting 802.11ax specifications
Your bitrate is 120 Mbps and the max is 200.... I don't understand though, it seems there are a lot of guides out there that say that you should increase the bitrate to above 200 to get better image quality, some guides saying 800Mbps. So is 120 not very low?
Hello mate, this is the bitrate about video codec when the GPU render on PC and compress video signal before it comes in VR and after that decompress in VR. So 800 is about data rate transfer so here in this case is trough the router 2401 and max 200 is for video codec. Im glad if I helped you.
Using virtual desktop AV1 is a supported codec making 120 to 200 maps enough. When using default quest 3, h264/5 is used and that requires around 350mbps even with less quality. Those who go up to 940 mbps are not getting any close to that as the meta uses dynamic bandwidth and will always be less than 400 or latency will go so high.
@@imad1996 personally in VD I prefer 500 Mbps h264+ vs 200 Mpbs AV1 or H265. Without auto bitrate, of course. Less compression artefacts, but I think colors are a bit worse.
Have you setup the TP-Link AX73 as an access point? if so is the PC connected to it with a network cable? how is the setup with your home router into the house?
I wonder what's your setting in msfs. I have a 12900k with 4070ti and I struggle to get the game stutter free with good fps. I also have a tp link axe 5400 wifi6e router. Im also using vdxr but I'll try hevc 10bit instead of av1 for quest 3.
Yes it is ''only'' 1 gb. But you will never reach that lol. There isnt an option higher than 500 here and higher than 960 on shity air link. Though you will have waaay less headroom which isnt rly needed here, you will not notice the differences going above 600mbps
Great video but the text in the cockpit is not sharp in mine and I have Rtx 3080 all similar specs with the quest 3 but it’s clear in my hp G2 how you get clear text in your quest 3 for msf2020
So is this router plugged into another router in your house? I just can't get a good connection in the room I use my vr headset. I've tried WiFi extenders but they just shit. My pc hard wired so could I just plud another router in and use this in the same room as my setup?
I got mine wifi 6E yesterday tp link axe75. Ms is a little bit lesser then I had before. In virtual desktop mbps stays on 2400. Wifi 6 had sometimes a small drop.. but not to big of a deal. If you have the money, go for wifi 6e. And you're set for 5600 mbps fot later on.
Well, to be honest, so many routers can pull steady 200 Mbps, so I'm not sure why even go for expensive AX5400 for that. I picked this router to do 500 Mbps h264+ and so far so good, but if I only needed 200 Mbps I'd just stay with some basic AX1800.
I have almost zero knowledge about routers so I wanted to ask, why does everyone suggest wifi6e when this router is supposedly good enough for wireless?
@@suparibhau exactly, my reply to you got deleted. TLDR wifi 6e is needed only if regular 5 GHz band is full or you don't know how to setup the router and just brute force the issue instead. Apparently YT deletes any social media references. Try "disk cord" of VD, there is a list of routers, and those recommendations are given to withstand 500 Mbps, not a measly 200 Mbps. Most of AX5400 routers on Qualcomm processor will do 500 Mbps in VD. And any AX1800 will do 200 like in this video. And those who really want the best networking for simulators are just buying ethernet to type C gigabit adapters, they work with Quest 3 (the ones on Realtek chips).

Bro, your router is not ultimate as with my Asus wifi 5, I get 3 to 4 of latency at 200mbps virtual desktop. The best router is Asus wifi 6e gaming series, as those models use a fast processor capable of sustaining a constant 200mbps. You unable to go to 200mbps is due to your router. My key learning is a fast wifi 5 router with a bandwidth of 844mbps will do better than a wifi 6 not fast. I have one wifi 6 router and am not using it due to this reason.

why wifi 6 VD is best than link cable at 960 Mbp rate in ODT ?

Plug a router into a second router, then plug that second router into your PC. Then connect the vr headset to that second router.
