@MrClippy I don’t really follow your question... I think maybe you are confused in thinking that a router is only to do with internet access? In reality it is your modem that connects to the internet and your router controls your home network.
Put simply, in order to use wireless streaming to the Quest with something like virtual desktop, you obviously need a way of connecting wirelessly to your pc which is rendering the game.
You could do this through the existing WiFi network but results will often be poor due to other devices on the network, and will be really poor if your PC is also connected to the network by WiFi.
The recommended setup (as per the developer of Virtual desktop) for reliability and maximum performance is therefore a router set up as an access point or bridge connected directly to your PC by Ethernet and running a dedicated 5.8ghz WiFi connection to your PC for your Quest.
There are other setups that will work, and needs sometimes dictate a different one, but that is the widely recommended method.
The most important points in any setup though are:
- Give the Quest a 5.8ghz network completely to itself.
- Your PC should be connected to the Quest’s WiFi access point (wherever or whatever you use to create that) by Ethernet. Alternatively, but potentially less desirable, create a WiFi hotspot using your built in card or PCIe card if you have the option (not all do).
- Do
not connect your pc to a router/access point by WiFi and then use that router/access point’s WiFi to connect to your Quest.
Follow those basic rules in any setup you come up with and it should work fine.
