I also hardwire my VR to my desktop which is hardwired to the internet.

Wireless can take a backseat

As much as I love being plugged into the internet, and definitely want to have the option to use a wire, I want to try wireless in VR - getting rid of the complications of being tethered by a cable seems likely to be worth the downsides.

While I'd love it, I don't think it has enough bandwidth to send a high quality image often enough to maintain a decent frame rate

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Sure it does.

Well, ~5 gbps is certainly enough for pretty high quality at high frame rates. The big issue is latency, but there have been various efforts to try and handle that through other, more complicated means.
