I just got a new router today to try the VR streaming from Desktop PC to my Quest 2 and it works flawlessly. Pretty exciting if it can do that it can probably do anything else. The part I don't know is what the energy use tradeoffs are. I know wifi6 is supposed to be lower energy cost?



Might be wrong, but I'm under the impression that the video encoding has a significantly higher energy cost on the Quest 2. Virtual Desktop even allows an OC setting if I remember correctly.

It helps, of course, that the bandwidth required for VR streaming is fairly low using the Oculus link protocol.
