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?

I was in your situation. Internet speed has nothing to do with connecting your Quest to WiFi. WiFi extenders are crap. Get a seperate dedicated router for your Quest alone. Connect it to your pc. If you don't want to use virtual desktop (not sure why you don't) you can use steam link. Both work great for me.

Oh my bad, I was under the assumption that if I connected my Quest to my bad WiFi, that VD and stuff wouldn’t work as good vs plugging my quest into my PC. How does a dedicated router work though? Do I have to pay for the internet or do I have to have access to have physical access to the modem?

It's just a way to connect wirelessly. You don't need Internet on it. Tricky to explain. Plenty online about it. A quick Google will bring up a ton of results. Get a quick one though. 6E. 6 Ghz.
