Wireless PCVR Network Setup For Low Latency!
Wireless PCVR Network Setup
In this video, Mystical explains his wireless PCVR network setup and how he has minimized latency without using a dedicated router.
Netgear r7000 Router
- Mystical's Netgear r7000 router runs Advanced Tomato firmware.
- The router only collects network data from the ISP and brings it to the rest of the network. Wi-Fi is disabled.
- An ethernet cable goes from the router through a hole in the wall and up into the attic.
Gigabit Switch
- A gigabit switch splits the wires into another storage and connects to various devices including an access point for wireless PCVR.
- According to Mystical, a good access point is all you need for good wireless PCVR.
Unify Access Point
- Mystical uses a Unify aplr access point which is gigabit, Poe powered, and can be mounted on his ceiling.
- The Unify aplr access point reaches every room in his house due to its long-range capabilities.
Importance of Local Network for Wireless PCVR
In this section, the speaker emphasizes the importance of having a good local network for wireless PCVR and explains how it works.
Good Access Points and Local Data Transfer
- The data goes directly from the headset to the access point and then to the computer.
- Demonstrates speed test on phone to show that high-end access points do their job well.
- Wi-Fi speed does not matter for wireless PCVR experience as long as there is a good local network.
- Ping test shows how long it takes data from a device to reach a server. Internal IP address has less than one millisecond connection time.
5 Gigahertz Frequency
- Having 5 gigahertz greatly benefits performance of wireless PCVR.
- If built-in router does not have 5 gigahertz, get a nice access point or better wireless router.
Conclusion
In this section, the speaker concludes by summarizing the main points and thanking viewers for watching.
Summary
- External internet speeds do not matter; what matters is internal network and access point/router quality.
- Latency was not perfect throughout video but network latency was consistently below 10ms with occasional spikes.
