Oculus Quest working wirelessly with Virtual Desktop! - Two (minor) hiccups to iron out - 1 hiccup SOLVED

Ah ok. I just thought that an extender needed to extend something

So you just plug-in the extender to a power socket, connect the laptop and extender with a cord, and then you can have a super 5Ghz connection between the laptop and the Quest. And the you create a WiFi spot for VD to start up - and you are good to go?

Man interesting things are happening these years.

In a few years we architects might be able to walk around as a group, and design inside VR. That could be cool. Being able to modify the Revit or Sketchup model directly inside VR would be so cool. Seen that people already can collaborate in VR (gravity sketch- not sure it its a public function now) is very interesting.

But one step at a time - being able to walk around wireless, and no need to setup a lot of hardware, is also a big step forward.

Happy to report I was able to solve the wifi setup for client locations.

In first instance I connected a 5Ghz wifi router to the laptop (wired) and then connected the Quest to the wifi signal. This resulted in a good connection between the Quest and the laptop. Unfortunately (as Sean Farrell mentioned above) Virtual Desktop needs an internet connection to startup. After that the connection is only local (confirmed by the creator of VD). This means a cabled internet connection must be available at the client location which is not always the case.

Today I tested a 5Ghz wifi repeater with an UTP connection. The setup is simple. Laptop wired to the repeater and Quest connected to the 5Ghz outgoing wifi signal. The incoming 2.4Ghz wifi is the hotspot on my iPhone. VD starts up and after that a local fast connection between the laptop and the Quest. Now I can run Enscape in VR on my Quest at client locations (wirelessly)

Now only to solve the key binding issue.

Did you configured the AC1750 as extender/repeater or as hotspot? Thanks in advance. I've tryed out all the day as hotspot withour any sucess

Autoanswer for me: it runs as Extender!. Absolutely breathtaking, my fellow! Thank you, thank you. It begins a new era. Next step: edge computing for hosted rendering and 5G.

This is really fantastic information, can't wait to give this a go. Thank you all!
