Could you elaborate on this? I think you mean wireless PCVR over wifi, but that’s achievable lag free on wifi 5

Currently video is being transmitted compressed with up to 50ms of lag, from what I can find. Wifi 7 should be able to fix both those issues.

That’s Wifi6E already. Though iirc the Quest 3 doesn’t fully support it’s drivers yet for max speed

They don’t specify how near zero “near-zero” is, but I use an Oculus Quest 2 and VR Desktop and the latency is 4-8ms, which is 0.5-1 frame at 120fps. I know Air Link is bad, but that seems more down to their software than anything else so a higher tech router isn’t going to do much
