I made this mistake of upgrading my computer to Big Sur, which has problems with wifidirect. I also changed rooms in the house, so now my wifi signal isn’t quite as good. This makes a very noticeable difference.
I still use this for writing here and there, but mostly I’m waiting for wifi direct support and/or better setups to come out. I’m keeping a close eye on developments.
The latency is too bad for my particular setup. It depends on how good the wifi connection is in your room.
Yea, I’ve looked into the SIP workaround, but am reluctant to implement that now. I’m hoping they just making drivers for Big Sur, but it’s taking more time than I’d like.
Thanks! I might give it a go and use Ethernet <-> Mac <-> Quest 2. I think you could do iPhone via bluetooth <-> Mac <-> Quest 2 – I’ll have to test that out. If you wanna know how it goes, feel free to reply in a week or so!
To be clear, my Mac is connected via ethernet (but there’s no way to connect the headset with a wire). I’m really not sure how the iPhone would work, or if they support it.
I believe things are much nicer for Windows computers.
I’m hoping Apple releases their own soon, though rumors have it that the upcoming unit will be very expensive $1k to $3k).
Hi Ozzie! Any news on the adapter, and how you kept using Immersed? :-)

Ah, so the latency without wifidirect is too bad for regular use?
I read that if you disable SIP, you can get wifidirect back up and running. That’s not good security practice, though.

Good luck!

Okay, so I got it to work! Basically you just do what it says on here: https://blog.immersed.team/wi-fi-direct-8ec23c74fdab
And then connect the Quest 2 to the new network your mac is broadcasting :-)
My WiFi is good enough to not need it, but I’m sure I’ll need it when I’m out of town.
