I will check out Pop: One. Should I be searching for that on Steam, or the Meta marketplace?
It's free to play and cross-platform, so it comes down to your preference. If you plan on playing on standalone occasionally, I would recommend getting it on the Meta platform since your profile will persist between PCVR and standalone. I think your Steam profile would count as a different account.
I got it on the Meta platform since at the time it was cross-buy. Broin and Lithium got it on Steam.

Yeah, I just got the Quest and 6E router in today. Going to try and set it up tonight. My extended battery strap should be here in the next day or two. I'd like to try Pop 1 again with a wireless setup!
Jeyk, the cable I linked is the one I use. I like it because it also connects to a wall charger and, therefore, keeps my headset charged during play. Using other cables the headset's battery will slowly drain.
I understand now; I just assumed the USB-C to USB-C cables would handle the charging if I had a C port available. Thank you for the link to the article as well.
I tried AirLink, and it was no bueno on my end. I had $25 in credit at Target, so I just grabbed the last official Link cable they had while I was there. I'll try it out tomorrow and see how it rolls.

Using other cables the headset's battery will slowly drain. I have noticed I get audio crackling if I go above 500 bitrate, which MAY have to do with the cable but may not. I'm still troubleshooting that one. Here's an article if you wanna do some research: https://www.androidcentral.com/best-link-cable-alternative-oculus-quest-2
Lithium, Air Link will initially boot you into Meta's PCVR software and then you can load up SteamVR from there no problem. If you want to bypass Meta's software altogether, you'll need to buy Virtual Desktop on the Quest and then download the streamer software on your computer. Using that method you can boot up SteamVR without having to go into Meta's stuff first. Either way I've had no issues running SteamVR once connected.
My current contract ends Sunday. We'll have to start up some Pop: One again to test the new systems!

I don't get everything in until this weekend or next week. So I can't really say how it is yet. I think I'm going to buy the official link cable. It's expensive, but it's probably better quality than the others and if there are any issues with it I can bitch to them about it. Hopefully I won't need to use it much with wireless.

Haha, it’s an early Christmas for you, Lithium! How are you liking the battery strap? Is it comfortable, and does it run hot?
I’m glad you linked a cable T, which was going to be my next question - I was eyeing the official cable, but it’s definitely steep at $79. I do have a USB-C port available, but will it make all that much of a difference vs. an A to C cable?
Are there any generic USB-C to USB-C cables you can recommend for PCVR?
I only went with the 128GB version…wishing I could have done 512GB version, but wanted to save were I could, especially knowing I’d want to use this for PCVR to access my Steam games and likely wouldn’t need so much storage for that - but I do love the standalone functionality..
