Slow connection. The videos stop.

ibins His internet connection is not problematic since there is no problem with his HPReverb, the problem comes from the quest (or the connection between his router and his quest).

On the other hand, the wifi connection itself, today, is largely sufficient for VR porn videos.

I use my Nintendo switch as a multimedia box when I go to my friends' house, connected in wifi (ac for the switch), I play UHD untouched at 70/80Mbps without any problem.

So even for 8k porn videos that we find around the maximum in 65Mbps, it must pass cream (especially that the quest 2 is compatible wifi 6 in addition).

midorijin I have been trying various things since you posted. In the network settings, it says I am connected at 2.4Mhz via my Oculus and it says that I have a Receive Link Speed of 54Mbps. But like I say, when I run the speed test within the DEOVR/SLR webpage, it says 6.4Mbps.

Today, I copied a couple of files to my Oculus headset local storage and they ran fine. I then added the files I downloaded over the past month on my desktop PC to Windows Media Player. Doing that seems to automatically make them available in DNLA. I was able to access those desktop PC files and view them via DNLA in my Oculus via DEOVR/SLR, but again, the videos just ran for about 5 seconds before stopping to load additional streaming segments.

So, DEOVR/SLR runs fine when playing local files within Oculus, but not files over my local network or on the Internet.

I don't know how to tell if I am running wifi AC or wifi 6 (or any other technology).

This is a pity since it isn't very practical to copy files that I downloaded onto my PC to my Oculus -- especially since the Oculus is rather limited in storage.

masterblaster In the network settings, it says I am connected at 2.4Mhz via my Oculus

Just as far as streaming speed- you'll definitely want to be connected to your router's 5ghz signal instead of the 2.4ghz signal, assuming your router has that option (most do for the pat 5+ years afaik). As a very general rule of thumb 5ghz can be well over 2x as fast as 2.4ghz, although that obviously depends on your ISP/etc.

masterblaster You confirm what I already suspected, the problem comes from the connection between your router and your headset, not from your internet connection or from the SLR/deovr app.

You'll have to look in the options of the headset and/or your router to check the configuration.

No wonder you are getting problems when using 2,4GHz, and a link speed of 54Mbps may be an indication that you are even using age-old 802.11g, or otherwise you are already at a range your WiFi signal is very weak.

Also remember, WiFi, actually every network technology always quotes the datarate on the carrier. With cable this is, depending on the protocol, around 80-90% of the actual usable datarate. But with WiFi you could expect realistically about 50% of the link data rate useable for actual data.

And the problem with 2,4GHz is, that everything uses it, WiFi, Bluetooth even microwave ovens can interfere 2,4GHz. In best case with 2,4GHz you can get 3 non overlapping channels, so if there are more then 3 WiFis in your range you are always effectively share bandwidth.

You should use 5GHz and at least 802.11ac (which actually is only available on 5GHz anyway)

ibins Thanks to all you guys for helping. Networking has never been my strong suit (obviously), but from what I gather from what you guys are saying, it is time to upgrade my router. I will post back here just to verify that was the problem after I get a new one and set it up.

masterblaster What is the model and reference of the one you currently have?

masterblaster Ok, there was indeed a possibility that the router was too old, but I still wanted to check, which is why I asked for the reference.

At least it will have saved you money on this hardware, that's cool.

masterblaster Glad you were able to get it sorted! And a special thanks to @midorijin as well for offering up his insight ️
