AX10/AX1500 VR game streaming stuttering
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi there, I am a representative of the Virtual Desktop community (community of around 20k on Discord with up to 5000 active users a day) and I need to bring an issue to TP Links attention.
We are often asked which routers our users should get and up until now for those on a budget we have recommended TP Link and the best model we have been advising for Oculus Quest 2 compatibility is the Archer AX10 or AX1500 since the specs match the Quest 2's networking hardware perfectly.
Quite a few users with this TP Link router have been complaining about terrible visual stuttering which is making their VR experience unplayable.
In trying to troubleshoot I purchased one of the routers myself and received a Hardware Version 1.0 router, which I have to say for me is performing brilliantly so far.
It has now become apparent that those suffering issues all have the v1.2 revision of the hardware.
We support our users so have of course advised latest firmware updates and correct WiFi settings but for these people (including a fellow admin who purchased an AX1500 yesterday in the US) the issues persist and all of them will likely be returning the hardware if it cannot be fixed.
Because my v1.0 on is working fine I need to come here and find out what is going on and if something can be fixed asap with a firmware update?
I want to continue to recommend TP Link routers to our members (ever increasing due to Quest 2 popularity) but will have to hold back until this issue is resolved.
We have a few people I can ask to assist with testing if required so please can a representative of TP Link contact me if necessary to get the ball rolling.
Thanks, Liam (oursoul)

Hi all,
Came across this thread while searching for a solution for this issue on my setup... except that I don't have an AX10/1500, but an ASUS RT-AX88u router (latest FW)...
Symptoms are exactly the same though: desktop using an Intel ax200 and Quest 2 both connected via AX protocol to the router, using Airlink I get a microstutter every 2 seconds on regular interval. Q2 set to 90hz, dynamic bitrate with 200Mbps max. Router software announces 1200Mbps for both devices, all good... Unplayable.
Former computer (laptop) was connected via AC protocol to the router, and then everything worked flawlessly with the Q2 connected via AX. So I came to the conclusion (correct me if I'm wrong) that:
a) either my desktop ax200 is causing an issue
b) or both computer & headset can't cohabit on AX protocol - router can't handle it or wrong setup on my end, can't figure it out though.
I'll force my desktop to switch over to AC, though I wish I could force the Q2 instead - can't figure out how. That should work according to my previous experience with the laptop. Still, having to do this feels wrong, especially considering the setups we got. Hmmm...

I fixed my issue, now wifi ax works flawlessly, no more stuttering.
PC was transmitting too hot and thus created interference with the Quest.
Went into device manager / network adapters / wifi ax200, properties, in advanced looked up transmission power and set it to medium instead of maximum. Perfect now. Hope this helps, good luck.
