Wireless HMD's#

For optimal wireless PCVR streaming performance, use a dedicated access point on a separate device specifically for streaming. A WiFi 6E or 7 AP is preferred for the best experience, there are recommended devices below.

Setup Overview#

This diagram shows the recommended network topology.

Wireless HMD PCVR Streaming: Network setup

Key Requirements#

  • Dedicated AP: Use a standalone access point or router dedicated solely to VR streaming
  • Bridge Mode: Configure the AP in bridge mode
  • Ethernet Connection: Connect the AP to your primary network via its WAN port
  • PC Connection: Use a 2.5Gb or faster ethernet port between your PC and dedicated AP

Network Segmentation#

On the dedicated VR AP disable all Wireless bands apart from 5/6GHz, this should have a dedicated AP name, and you can also select the channel to not overlap with any channels used on your existing AP's

  • Bridge Mode: The dedicated AP should be set to bridge mode
  • 5GHz/6GHz: Wireless headset only (the only device on this network, you can only add Yaw3 to Wifi 6E network if you perform My Yaw 3 Wifi 6E mod)
  • Wired: to PC via ethernet using fastest port on AP (which may be the wan port, if so plug your existing network into one of the ethernet ports on the device

Equipment Recommendations#

  • Ethernet Cable: Cat 5e or better (1000mbps+)
  • Ethernet Port: 1000mbps or higher on PC
  • Router/AP: WiFi 6E/7 capable, supporting at least 1000mbps throughput
  • Connection: Hardwired PC connection is mandatory for best performance

Important Notes#

  • Internet speed is not a factor—focus on local network data throughput between your PC and the Wireless HMD
  • Each component in the chain represents a potential bottleneck
  • Higher data throughput capability directly correlates with better streaming quality
  • Dedicated WiFi band prevents interference from other devices
