Stream SteamVR via Oculus Link Cable

Purchase the original Oculus 5m / 16ft Link Cable on the >Oculus store<.
If you’re wondering about the price of 79.- it’s made of glass fibers to achieve the extra length.
Once the Quest is physically connected, the Quest can be used equivalently to a Rift S.
Also, this applies when wondering which games are compatible with Cybershoes.
See this link for our recommendations on >cable management<.

Stream SteamVR wirelessly to the Quest

Overview:
Use the 5G bands of a WIFI router that has 802.11ac standard.
Sideload Virtual Desktop to your Quest (you need to activate developer mode).

  • MOST DETAILED STEP BY STEP GUIDE:

    HARDWARE PART
  • Use a WIFI router ( >amazon link< ) that has the 802.11ac standard.
    Wire up ( >amazon link< ) the WAN port of the router with your internet modem.
    Wire up one LAN port of the router with your PC. This speeds up the data rate.
    Connect your Quest using the 5G WIFI network.

    DEVELOPER MODE
  • Register at >https://dashboard.oculus.com/organizations/create/<
    as a developer using any name as your company name.
    It’s OK to do that because the term developer is not a protected one.

    If you can’t find the PC: make sure the WAN port of the router is connected with the internet, the LAN port of the router with the PC, and that the Quest is in the same WIFI network as the router.
    Now you can already take full control of your PC.
