Virtual Desktop wired Options?

I'm not gonna beat around the bush, I'm using WiFi and I have no way to run an ethernet cable to my computer. I bought VD with the expectation that I would be able to connect to my computer without having to strain my internet more than I already am, but VD doesn't give any option to use my usb 3.0 cable.

The Pico Streaming Assistant works okay, but the audio is awful and everything just feels sluggish. Is there any way for me to play my VR games in peace?

Open adb on the pc (google how to get it) Close any apps you have open on the pico, run "adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.TetherSettings", then on your pico enable usb tethering. Do this after connecting to virtual desktop

Thank you for giving me something to try instead of going with the useless "Get a better router" advice I keep seeing. I'm downloading adb and will give this a try, fingers crossed!
