Well, I got it partially working with the power link adapters but I don’t understand why.
I played PCVR last night. This morning, I disconnected the cable between the gateway and the 6G router. I started the PC. It showed it was connected to 6G but no internet. WiFi was off. I connected the gateway to the powerline 1. I connected powerline 2 to 6G. Now the PC had internet. I started the quest 3. I ran speed tests on PC and quest 3 which showed about 70 mbps. I started virtual desktop (VD) and it said it couldn’t find the PC. I shut down everything (including modem and gateway) and started everything in order after each one came back on fully (I waited each step). Still VD could not find the PC. I turned on wifi for PC and connected it to the gateway wifi. Now VD found the computer and I could play Kayak vr mirage. So I tried Google earth VR. It wouldn’t run. The whole point of getting internet to the 6G is so I can run Google earth VR. I also think it might have been running PCVR through the gateway on all wifi which is terrible performance. The kayak game was jittery.
Perhaps someone with more understanding of networking could get the powerline adapters to work. I will be using wires and just secure them to the floor at the two entryways the wires cross until I figure out something better.
