Challenges with Oculus Quest 3 Connectivity on Archer AXE75 v1.0's 6Ghz Band
Challenges with Oculus Quest 3 Connectivity on Archer AXE75 v1.0's 6Ghz Band
Hello,
I recently purchased the TP-Link Archer AXE75 v1.0, running on Firmware Version 1.1.8 Build 20230718 rel.47014(4555), with the goal of enhancing my Oculus Quest 3 experience via Virtual Desktop.
To my dismay, my Quest 3 seems to have difficulty consistently detecting and connecting to the 6Ghz Wi-Fi 6E network. Oddly enough, during my multiple attempts over the past few days, I was successful in connecting just once. In contrast, there were no issues when trying to connect the Quest 3 to the 5Ghz network on the same device. I made sure the AP's firmware is updated and even tried tinkering with the transmission channel settings, but the issue persists.
I had high hopes of maximizing the performance of the 6Ghz band for an optimal Virtual Desktop experience on the Quest 3. I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community or support team to resolve this.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

I have the same issue. Tested every single channel with PCS and without, every security. No results. Sometimes i see 6e network for couple seconds and then its gone. Once i even been able to connect to it, but it was only once and never again... At the same time, my phone has no problems with 6e network from this router.
Hi, since your phone has no problem with 6e network from this router, the issue seems to be related to the Quest 3 itself, is it possible for you to connect it to any other 6Gbps WiFi for testing?

@Sunshine Yea, i probably would do such test if i had opportunity, but 6e routers is not common thing around here.

@Sunshine I have a very similar problem with Quest 3 and Deco XE75 Pro running in access point mode. Quest 3 can find the 6GHz access point, but connection drops out maybe once per minute. I recently updated the Quest 3 and the problem disappeared... but re-appeared again. Restarting Quest 3 does not help.

Hello @Giuseppe_Lupo @N117 @Costantino @BosPete @harpone
We appreciate everyone who has started this conversation on the Quest 3 that is having an issue with our Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 routers/Deco's 6 GHz connection.
We recently heard from a user who shared his solution with us after he successfully got his Quest 3 to function flawlessly with our Archer BE800 router. Please see if this also works for you and provide feedback:
What if Meta Quest 3 (VR) Cannot Find the 6 GHz Network of TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 Router?
If this, unfortunately, does not work for you, we hope you can share with us more details about the issue and we'd be happy to assist further:
1. What is the firmware version of your Quest 3?
2. How about other 6 GHz devices in the network, will they be able to connect to the 6 GHz network of the Archer AXE75/Deco XE75 Pro flawlessly? There has been a new official firmware 1.2.0 for Archer AXE75, which can be found here. Please update and install this latest firmware on your AXE75 and observe if your Quest 3 will connect to the 6 GHz network.
3. Kindly share with us the 6 GHz wireless settings on your Archer AXE75/Deco XE75 Pro. You may mask the SSID and password for any security concerns.
Thank you all for joining this discussion and love to hear from you.

Hi, welcome to the community.
Could you mind starting a new thread here:
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/39
In the meantime, could you please help me check the following details:
1. Are you able to constantly reproduce the disconnection issue on the Quest 3 in a short time?
2. Please also try to disable "Mesh Technology" on the Deco APP for Quest 3, and also turn off "Beamforming" under Deco APP>More>Advanced.
Thank you very much and best regards.

The variance in connection speed (and sometimes dropping it entirely) is mostly reliant on the physical movement of the headset I think. That has been my experience on the QPro with my AXE75, if I hold still the connection holds steady. On any sort of head movement it starts varying in connection speed by quite a bit.
This has not changed with the new firmware either.
Let me know if you need/want any specific information on my setup, I am happy to jump through hoops to try and get this problem fixed as it's infuriating.

I grabbed a cheap Hydra Pro 6e as some users reported that the connection speed stayed solid with this model, it arrives tomorrow so will update with my experience once I have it setup and can directly compare it to the AXE75.

After even more tinkering, selecting a particular 6e channel has definitely helped a great deal at making VR streaming more stable I think. The connection speed still varies quite wildly at times, but it's more stable in the actual experience. No connection drops yet, stutters gone. Need more time with it.
The Hydra Pro 6e was incredibly unstable right out of the box, big drops/stutters alongside the connection speed variation. Couldn't be bothered to try and get that one working better since the AXE75 is now stable enough.
