I just got set up with a dedicated ASUS RT-AX82U router [replacing TP-Link AX1500 which had WIRED lag spikes, for some reason] to use with a Quest 2. The router sits in the same room as the Quest itself, less than 10 ft away, and physically hooked up via ethernet to my PC. I have the latest firmware installed on the router, and set the transmit power to "Power saving", channel: 112 [DFS channel, zero interference], 802.11 AX only mode. I also changed the width to 80 MHz only.
I'm able to run Virtual Desktop at "high", 90 fps, 100 Mbps bitrate, H.264 codec and get around 29-35 ms total latency [VD v1.18]. Latency wise seems okay I guess, but I seem to get noticeable micro-stuttering for some reason, especially in like Beat Saber where the notes are constantly streaming in...any ideas how to fix this? [Other than turning on "video buffering", which drastically increases latency, or dropping bitrate to 33 Mbps, which drastically kills image quality].
If I max it out to 150 Mbps bitrate, the latency shoots up to 40+ ms.
