Hey everyone, I wanted to play using Air Link, but when I opened Steam VR, my headset was lagging and stuttering like crazy. It was so bad I thought I was having a stroke or something. I do have a link cable, but it’s not the best either. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I’ve had similar issues with Meta Link and Air Link. Honestly, it’s pretty rough. Have you tried SteamLink instead? It’s free and works decently. If you want something better, you might want to check out Virtual Desktop, but that does cost some money.
Have you checked your Wi-Fi connection? Sometimes, just moving closer to the router or using a dedicated 5GHz network can improve Air Link performance a lot. Also, make sure there are no heavy downloads happening on your network while you’re gaming.
I had lag issues too, and adjusting the bitrate in the Air Link settings helped a bit. Just make sure your PC specs are holding up too, but yours seem solid!
