50-65 ms latency on Quest 3 PCVR using virtual desktop on Godlike 200mbs bit rate 72/120hz tried changing encoders, same results. Can this improve?

You're internet speed has nothing to do with your PCVR connection. PCVR is purely reliant on local network variables. An easy fix is to get another router, plug it into your computers Ethernet port, give it its own SSID, and use that as a PCVR dedicated network. I currently use a nest pro for this,

help!

For an opposing POV, I have 2 of the older Google Wi-Fi (GJ2CQ) and 2 of the slightly newer Nest Wi-Fi (H2D) and they've been working nearly flawlessly for years. The only times I've had issues with them is when the ISP goes out. In which case I simply need to wait for the ISP to come back up and th

Smart home from scratch, where do I even start?

I use Switchbot roller shades, Switchbot sensors (for temp and humidity), as well as their blind tilts and button pushers. Kasa smart switches, Hue lights, and a Nest Learning Thermostat with an Aprilaire whole house humidifier slaved to it for wintertime. Love them all. I automate each brand via it

compatibility with google wifi

The three options you describe will work but personally I would upgrade from the original Google WiFi mesh since this is quite old tech with WiFi 5 instead of 6. There's quite a jump there so the Nest Pro or Hyperoptic's mini hub should offer an improvement in speed and network stability. I use Eero

Better alternative routers

I just plugged my old Google/Nest WiFi mesh set up back in, it’s only WiFi 5 but it works fine and I didn’t have to do any set up.

done fighting WiFi extenders in the yard. 4G for outdoor stuff instead?

My Google Nest wifi router covers a half acre lot well. It can mesh to multiple access points but I haven't needed that. Internet companies typically provide cheap, crappy routers. Turn their built-in router off and add a Nest wifi device, should do the trick. You might need to experiment in where t

Just installed Starlink, need help

Buy a good quality mesh system. Put the SL router in bypass mode and place your mesh in order to extend them to the second home. I personally use the Google Nest WiFi Pro.

Google Ethernet Cable

It looks like the cables that came with my older Google wifi and newer nest wifi routers and APs. I am satisfied with their speed as I am getting my advertised internet speed of 600Mbps at my new home and gig internet at my old home. I don't really test LAN speeds but if I'm getting advertised WAN I

Why is it that when I unplug my mesh extender, Mbps gets BETTER?!?!?

I've got a Nest Wifi router feeding 4 Google Wifi mesh points: but between the router and each of those points are at least 2 walls and/or a floor/ceiling. (And one of those points is connected by ethernet to the router.) Everywhere in the house (2 storeys + basement) is fast (>200Mbps) because the
