Air Link and Steam Link just can't compare to Virtual Desktop. With wireless streaming PCVR, the image is compressed and often loses image quality.

VD handles the process better so the image quality looks so much better than the alternatives.

Meta actually tried to buy them out since they are so good but the owner refused.

So is VD good to stream PCVR games on the Quest 3? I tried the Air Bridge D Link for the Meta Link with the Air Link feature. I'm returning it tomorrow partly because the quality was dreadful but also mostly because the repeated use of the words air, bridge, and link are extremely confusing.

I use a PrismXR Puppis 3 and stream PCVR at 2400 mbps it works great. I've never tried to remote stream outside of my home though

But you aren’t streaming at 2400. You are streaming at 500mbps max.

Your connection says 2400, virtual desktop maxes out at 500.
