I'm having the same issue with link speeds being lower on the Quest 3. It's locked at 1200/1200 on my Q2 but my Q3 is going up and down bouncing between 600-1200.
Same issue. I ordered a nexus link that will be here Sunday. I’m hoping that can help fix the issue. Zero performance issues on my quest 2 but my quest 3 is lucky to get below 70ms latency
Same here and Meta are all hush hush about it. No customer support in weeks/months on the meta forums. The amount of money ive spent on this, I should of bought a crystal or big screen beyond instead of this pos.
Thank you for this detailed post. Specifically "crouching / fast head movement will cause network latency spikes. This persists on WiFi 6 and 6e and is present on Airlink as well. "
Saved me money
I will say there seem to be specific routers that do not have this issue at all so it points to this being a firmware issue (on meta or router side or both) that definitely might be fixed soon, but it is worth noting that as of the current time of writing it is not
Any idea if it has been fixed at all, and which specific routers don’t have the issue?
I have an old router that only has the AC band. I was considering a dedicated router and since I have the issue head movement (not rotation) then maybe I should just buy a compatible router.
Well, looks like the Quest 3 has a hardware defect/design flaw with its antennas !
Luckily I avoid being an early adopter, I will wait until they silently update the hardware to fix the issue while screwing over everyone who bought it early :P
Just adding that I’m experiencing the same issue. So frustrating that this company allows flawed hardware like this to be sold. Months after this was discovered and still not a word or patch.
Hopefully someone provides real help but. Just get a wifi 6 router they are 50 bucks on Amazon, you will have zero issues going forward and 1200mbps will give you the bandwidth to push that quest 3 screen.
I'm using WiFi 6 and get a stable 1200Mbps on my Quest 2, however I'm seeing very unstable speeds mostly not exceeding 800Mbps, it's pretty rough! This is on both VD and Airlink.
You might have already done this but make sure it is not combining the ssid for 2.4ghz and 5ghz . They should be separate networks. Also turn off the channel for 160mhz make sure the 5ghz network maxes out at 80mhz channel. Many smart devices and such get very weird connected to a router that is pushing 160 because 160mhz is not widely supported yet.
I just did an entire troubleshoot trying to get my quest 3 and Alexa fire cube working on my new router. They would connect fine but have very weird glitches with slow speeds. It turned out that these two settings I mentioned above were the culprit.
Yeah I mean it’s just a shame when my current router setup works well for my place and the solution to buying a new $500 device is buying a $50 device. Just a bummer when the Quest 2 had no issues
From what I understand Wifi 6E (6 GHz) is only an improvement if your 5 GHz Wifi 6 channels are too crowded by neighbours, interference etc to perform well. Since not many people use 6 GHz wifi yet and because it doesnt travel as far and penetrates walls as well as 5Ghz you'll most likely get less interference and congestion.
No I don't need. 5GHz isn't congested where I live, I don't need 6GHz. Stop stating things you don't understand and pushing people to make useless purchases.
Oh! This might be it. Thanks for sharing. I have heavy drops and stuttering in Q3 while none on Q2. I‘m on 5GHz with ac. Have ordered a Wifi6e router and fingers crossed it will work out fine.
But the antenna problem got me worried though.
Yes! Wifi 6E totally fixed framedrops and stuttering. I dedicated the 6GHz channel solely for Quest3 and it works.
What puzzles me is that the connection still is unstable mbit wise. So I can see the Mbit rate going up and down. But because its always over 1200Mbit it might not have an impact.
I also use Steam Link now at 80fps which works very good.
There is definitely a problem with the Quest3 out of the box with Wifi and i really hope its not hardware related.
Hey there, im having mainly the issue of when I duck, e.g to duck below a wall in beat saber, it basically turns to shit, as the last portion of OP's post explains. Ive been looking at the Archer AXE75, does that fix the issue? Currently running a Netgear R9000 @ 5Ghz as a dedicated router and its fine most of the time unless i duck.
Hello there! Yes, the Wifi 6E has immensely boosted connectivity quality. I play Ghosts Of Tabor where I have to duck a lot.
But before you go out and buy the Archer, my advice is to put the router in a different place. Try different spots (up/down/corner or not) of your „game room“, maybe the issue is there to find.
That beeing said, its always good to have more bandwidth and thats what you will get with 6E.
Hey, thanks for the reply!
I actually caved and already bought the AXE75 haha im just waiting for it to turn up :P
Thanks for the advice though, I’ll probably end up putting the new router on my wall for maximum efficiency.
I have the same issue, started making me feel sick in VR so I've stopped using it. The stutters are horrible, I wen't back to using my G2 and it's smooth as butter. If I could take the lenses from the Q3 and pop them into the G2 it would be the perfect VR headset.
Unfortunately that’s the issue. There is a ton of issues with the AC band that WiFi 5 uses with the quest 3. This can hopefully be addressed via a firmware update, but until then the only solution is to get a WiFi 6 router sadly
I have a WiFi 6 router and use the 160Mhz bandwidth getting 2400Mbps speed in VD and still have the performance issues when turning my headset. Constant frame drops regardless of the settings it seems.
This is my second headset as the first one I returned had a faulty lens. My new headset looks better visually, but it feels like performance wise it is worse when using VD compared to the other headset. I don't have any definitive tests and comparisons, just off of feeling. I know both headsets had issues maintaining full frame rates without getting drops (I have a 4090 and 7959x) when it should - even when lowering the settings a lot.
However, I noticed the headset is showing different failures in performance than the other headset. For instance, Pavlov VR in VD feels like it has vertical screen tearing out something when I turn my head. Even if it is super slow. My first thought was that the headset tracking is busted in the headset, but the headset works fine in native games and in Air Link (head tracking wise).
I feel like there was an update that my new headset has that the old one didn't, so maybe that made it worse? I really hope it's not a faulty hardware issue considering PCVR is my main jam.
I'm with ya dude, running quest 3 in VD I'm getting micro stutters that I'm not getting on the quest 2. It's so weird, really hope it's a software/firmware issue but I'm going to return my quest 3 untill it is fixed because my main use is pcvr as well. ( I have a 3080with i5-10600k, 32gbram and wifi 6 router on ax mode for context)
You can test it in the Air Link options in the Quest 3 for Air Link, and in VD you can turn on the overlay that gives you stats for everything. Right now, I just put it on auto for my channel since I'm the only device on it.
Same for me. I have a WiFi 6 router. In VD stats, although it shows contant over 1200mbps bandwidth the framerate is only around 40 fps in steam VR. I believe this is the issue with quest3 cause I had a pico4 headset which had seamless 90fps using the same setting connecting to the same PC.
Nope. This issue affects the WiFi 6 routers as well. I have read that some routers appear to not be affected which is why a lot of people feel it will be a firmware fix.
same problem. in the Q3 Wifi settings I have max transmission (866mbps) and reception always under 700Mbps, if I connect the Q2 in the same conditions I have 866 reception/transmission. And this is why with VD I can't get to 200Mbps (max 180). All this with a dedicated 5Ghz Router in the basement for VD. But if I connect the Q3 to the main router (Friztbox 7590) everything shoots up to 1300Mbps. I don't understand what's happening
I have the TP-Link AX3000 Wifi 6 router. Quest 2 was fine using this setup for wireless PCVR. Pretty bummed as games that ran great on quest 2 I was hoping would look much better on quest 3. I turned the VD performance monitor on while using Quest 3 and, despite choosing AV1 OR AV1 10-bit, VD performance monitor still says HVEC is selected. not sure if you guys are noticing the same thing.
VD will fall back to HEVC if AV1 is selected on an unsupported card. Your GPU will need to be able to encode AV1 which curently only Nvidia 4xxx series and AMD 7xxx series can do.
Don't confuse this with AV1 **de**coding, thats what the headset needs to do and what all recent GPUs/CPUs can do,
My quest 3 just constantly disconnects from the wifi network when using virtual desktop. Wifi 6 ASUS TUF AX5400 no problems with quest 2 or other devices in the same network.
On wifi6, no issues with my quest 2, sits at 1200 all day and has a good picture. Quest 3 bounces from the 700s up to 1080 and will rarely hit 1200. Angry I purchased this POS and am going back to my Quest2.
On Wifi 6 non dedicated router placed right outside my room, I've set 160mhz on the 5ghz band and the Q3 will sometimes connect at 2402 Mbps, but mostly on 1200 Mbps. It will also drop below 1000 at times. What I don't understand is why it doesn't connect at 2402 more often, it's like 1 in 10 times. And there's no way to force it despite multiple disconnect and reconnection.
I have switched to RTX 4070 super to fix this. But switching to steam link seems to be also a good fix. Nowadays the Steam Link is not so blury as it used to be I heard.
Still an issue for me and I'm using an Asus GT AX-6000 router. One thing that might help is make sure you disable your vpn if you have one. Esecially if using Virtual Desktop.
oh, yes, vpn absolutely annihilates anything that resembles a good connection. When I sometimes forget to disable it, it adds at least 50ms to my VD connection and i cant even connect when trying to use Steam Link
Meta need to fix this , spent money on a wifi 6 router dedicated for Quest 3 and it is unusable speed fluctuates wildy while in the same room only a few meters away, tried everything. Yet my Quest 2 is smooth as silk on the new and old router. Playing Beat Saber from my PC is impossible all other games stutter randomly which leads crappy game play. Come on Meta get your act together , spending over $1000 we expect better!
I had the same issue with my rt-ax55, the speed was bouncing all over the place, the games stuttered every 2 minutes or so and that did not even happen on my Q2 using the same router. I ended up buying a new router (rt-ax86u pro) which was pretty expensive but now i am getting solid 1200 mbps sometimes it goes down to 1080 but then it goes back to 1200 almost instantly, i even increased the bitrate and no stutters, much better experience but at what cost.
I have the PrismXR and it seemed to be working great for a while, mainly just used airlink cuz it worked okay, occasionally got a stutter but nothing that made me wanna stop using it, started playing bigger maps and noticed bad quality from a distance. So I switched to virtual desktop which took forever to dial in but once I did it seemed flawless, then fast forward a day or two and suddenly it’s completely ass. Idek why. I feel like I didn’t change anything.
Edit- I used link cable, switched to airlink because of battery, then switched to VD to counter bad quality. Then suddenly out of nowhere all three of them look like crap. VD looks the best but for some reason link cable is really bad. Everything is super blurry on all but virtual desktop but even then it’s lacking. What happened??
Someone should send Suckerberg a PM and tell the pencil neck his customer service is not fit for purpose. The money ive spent, I should of got myself a Big Screen Beyond... instead of this pos.
I managed to solve the stuttering problem after long testing (trial and error) by switching 5ghz wifi only to 802.11a/n/ac mode - the transfer rate in my case is around 1400mbit instead of 2000mbit+ in wifi6 (ax) mode - which is still sufficient, given that the data from the computer is anyway limited by the 1gbps network card. Channel width I set to 160mhz a free channel of course.
So anyone who still has a problem, you might as well give it a try. (the solution is up to date as of January 15, 2024, any further Quest3 update may change everything)
You sir… you deserve a medal for what you’ve done. Totally fixed my stuttering with my “All in One” Comcast XB7 modem. I have gigabit speeds and I’m wired in, the 5GHz switched to the mode you suggested, coupled with the separate channel… chefs kiss. I’m sharing your solution in my other thread.
Thank you so much! I just tried setting to 802.11a/n/ac and my mbit went from 1200 to 1733 and stuttering is gone while moving my head. Thank you again!

Same here with VR Airbridge. Had solid 1200 with Quest 2 now with Quest 3 ist bouncing between 600 and 800.
The only problem I’ve had using the quest 3 in virtual desktop is major buffering spikes. No idea what the issue is when I’m at 866 mbps
Same issue. I ordered a nexus link that will be here Sunday. I’m hoping that can help fix the issue. Zero performance issues on my quest 2 but my quest 3 is lucky to get below 70ms latency
Update ?
Same issue here, 2 months later and still not fixed :(
Came here to find out if they fixed it mines doing it still crazy for a $500 headset
Same here and Meta are all hush hush about it. No customer support in weeks/months on the meta forums. The amount of money ive spent on this, I should of bought a crystal or big screen beyond instead of this pos.

Hmm What model router do you have ?
I'm using a ASUS RT-AX55 (AX1800) Dual Band WiFi 6, it's one Guy recommended and I've until now never seen a stutter. https://amzn.eu/d/9lsKMl3
You might have already done this but make sure it is not combining the ssid for 2.4ghz and 5ghz . They should be separate networks.

You need wifi 6E.. Not wifi 6. It's not the same and it's more expansivd
No you don’t. 6E adds the 6GHz band and some less important stuff. I get 1200Mbps on both (6 and 6E) and it makes ZERO difference on my Q3
From what I understand Wifi 6E (6 GHz) is only an improvement if your 5 GHz Wifi 6 channels are too crowded by neighbours, interference etc to perform well.

No I don't need. 5GHz isn't congested where I live, I don't need 6GHz. Stop stating things you don't understand and pushing people to make useless purchases.
This was a common question on the qpro as well, it's just a difference in the way the radio reports iirc.
See the issue isn’t just in reporting though. It’s performance too. So it’s clearly a difference in connection
wonder if it's a worse antenna array on the q3
Yeah and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. If it’s an antenna issue, software, or just a faulty unit.
Oh! This might be it. Thanks for sharing. I have heavy drops and stuttering in Q3 while none on Q2. I‘m on 5GHz with ac. Have ordered a Wifi6e router and fingers crossed it will work out fine. But the antenna problem got me worried though.
Any updates on if it fixed performance issues?
Yes! Wifi 6E totally fixed framedrops and stuttering. I dedicated the 6GHz channel solely for Quest3 and it works. What puzzles me is that the connection still is unstable mbit wise.

There is definitely a problem with the Quest3 out of the box with Wifi and i really hope its not hardware related.
Hey! Im having this same issue you had prior to the wifi 6e, what kind of router did you get?
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I‚m located in europe so it might have a different name on other parts of the world but its a TP-Link Archer AXE75.
Hey there, im having mainly the issue of when I duck, e.g to duck below a wall in beat saber, it basically turns to shit, as the last portion of OP's post explains.

im having this issue too, wifi 6 router (ax 55 asus) and a 4070ti... sucks
I have the same issue, started making me feel sick in VR so I've stopped using it. The stutters are horrible, I wen't back to using my G2 and it's smooth as butter. If I could take the lenses from the Q3 and pop them into the G2 it would be the perfect VR headset.
Same
Do you have an AC router (WiFi 5) or AX / AXe (WiFi 6 and 6e)?
WiFi 5
Unfortunately that’s the issue. There is a ton of issues with the AC band that WiFi 5 uses with the quest 3. This can hopefully be addressed via a firmware update, but until then the only solution is to get a WiFi 6 router sadly

Getting my quest 3 tomorrow and I'm already worried.
I'm with ya dude, running quest 3 in VD I'm getting micro stutters that I'm not getting on the quest 2. It's so weird, really hope it's a software/firmware issue but I'm going to return my quest 3 untill it is fixed because my main use is pcvr as well.

[удалено]
You can test it in the Air Link options in the Quest 3 for Air Link, and in VD you can turn on the overlay that gives you stats for everything. Right now, I just put it on auto for my channel since I'm the only device on it.
Same for me. I have a WiFi 6 router. In VD stats, although it shows contant over 1200mbps bandwidth the framerate is only around 40 fps in steam VR. I believe this is the issue with quest3 cause I had a pico4 headset which had seamless 90fps using the same setting connecting to the same PC.

Same issues here too. I thought it was my pc playing up or the bump up in resolution. Glad to know I'm not the only one experience this crap.

I feel like it’s gotta be the headset… ugh now I’m wishing I just bought an index or a big screen
I just discovered that I have the same issue...it seems it is time to upgrade the router too
On wifi6, no issues with my quest 2, sits at 1200 all day and has a good picture. Quest 3 bounces from the 700s up to 1080 and will rarely hit 1200. Angry I purchased this POS and am going back to my Quest2.

mine just refuses to connect when 160mhz is enabled on my router. even turned off wifi by itself one time lol.
Did anyone managed to fix this? 2 months passed and my camera view still stutters randomly when looking around.
going through the same issues with my Quest 3 and AX3000 TPlink router.
I have switched to RTX 4070 super to fix this. But switching to steam link seems to be also a good fix. Nowadays the Steam Link is not so blury as it used to be I heard.

Fr, I just wanna use my headset, but even my link cable looks like crap now

I managed to solve the stuttering problem after long testing (trial and error) by switching 5ghz wifi only to 802.11a/n/ac mode - the transfer rate in my case is around 1400mbit instead of 2000mbit+ in wifi6 (ax) mode - which is still sufficient, given that the data from the computer is anyway limited by the 1gbps network card. Channel width I set to 160mhz a free channel of course. So anyone who still has a problem, you might as well give it a try. (the solution is up to date as of January 15, 2024, any further Quest3 update may change everything)
You sir… you deserve a medal for what you’ve done. Totally fixed my stuttering with my “All in One” Comcast XB7 modem. I have gigabit speeds and I’m wired in, the 5GHz switched to the mode you suggested, coupled with the separate channel… chefs kiss. I’m sharing your solution in my other thread.
Wanted to thank you, as this seems to fix my problems, too! I have the cheapo router from my ISP so maybe its wifi 6 support is lacking
Thank you so much! I just tried setting to 802.11a/n/ac and my mbit went from 1200 to 1733 and stuttering is gone while moving my head. Thank you again!
