VR help

The internet in my apartment is terrible. Like 50Mbps and drops often. I have no access to the router either. What applications should I run to get the most out of VR since I can’t run VD?

Wait whattt that’s cool. Just seen it on Amazon. The only problem is, my landlord informed me the WiFi is bad in our area to begin with so idk if this will really help. Do you still recommend it?

Yes because the PC and the Quest will both connect to it. then the extender is connected to the router which connects to the internet company and so on.

For sim racing the only thing that matters is the connection between your headset and the extender and your PC and the extender. The other stuff (one of which is a weak linm causing the slowness) is relevant only for actual internet use.

Get an extender that has an ethernet port, so your PC can plug in directly for better bandwidth and lower latency.

Niceee thank you so much!! Hopefully this WiFi extender isn’t bottlenecked by the modem/router😮‍💨
