Got a shiny new Quest 3 for Christmas? Ready to dive into the amazing world of wireless PC VR? In this video, I’ll show you how to create the best wireless setup for your Quest 3 by setting up an access point dedicated to the headset.
Don’t toss that old router! Learn how to repurpose it into an access point to create a stable and exclusive network just for your Quest. Save money and boost your gaming experience!
[edit:
This video is all about setting up your router for the best performance—not about choosing the absolute best router itself. If you want, you can go all-in with a high-end gaming router, and that will work great too! But this guide focuses on configuring any router as an access point to improve stability. That said, I highly recommend using a WiFi 6E or WiFi 6 router with 160Hz bands for the best results.
For this setup, I’m using the TP-Link AXE75, which works great for me. However, if you have the budget, a $500 gaming router will definitely give you more power.
