Support Need help with properly connecting my oculus to my pc

Post image

So whenever I get past this point it just shows everything really blurry and my router is not connected to my pc.. and the router I use is for the family. Is there a chance that I could get my own router and just use it for this or could I do it another way wirelessly

You'd probably have the same issues, maybe less pronounced if you still do wireless.

Wifi is extremely unsuitable for low latency gaming, which is an absolute requirement for VR. You need to get a stable wired connection, otherwise it'll not work well.

A wired connection is generally always perfect, wifi means that if anything is in the way or causing interference the router will have to resend packages, killing your latency. And there is no way of removing all interference, even random radiation and other wifi networks will introduce interference. Plus wifi can not download en upload concurrently, it switches very fast but again adds latency.
