Occulus Link allows tethering to a PC via a USB cable, and Virtual Desktop can do SteamVR over WiFi. When I first heard of Virtual Desktop I was dubious, but on

  Indeed, I was very sceptical that it would work on my ISP provided wifi-router but it worked flawlessly. Although I've only played Alyx where you probably have some subconscious latency tolerance. It's so strange that they don't package wifi based oculus link as an out of the box feature.

    It wouldn't surprise me to see it appear as a standard feature at some point, but it'll take a while for them to tune it to properly cope with all the awful wireless access points out there. Virtual Desktop can get away with occasionally having problems connecting to your computer, or latency introduced by being on a bad network, because its 3rd party software which requires a bit of technical knowledge just to be able to get it installed with SteamVR support. That filters out the people who aren't going to understand the concept of network latency somewhat, but having it as a standard feature would mean anyone with £300 to spend on a Quest is going to expect it to work perfectly everytime.
