Laboratory RF Testbed Baseline: Asus GT-AXE16000 (3.8ms p99)

Wireless VR Router Leaderboard & Jitter Benchmark

Flatscreen internet download speed (Ookla) is meaningless for PCVR. Virtual reality streaming requires strict 90Hz/120Hz UDP packet pacing without bufferbloat. We benchmark the top 25 Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 routers against our Asus GT-AXE16000 laboratory RF testbed for Virtual Desktop, Steam Link, and Air Link.

In-Browser Transport Jitter Probe

High-Res Timer

Fires high-frequency burst probes using microsecond performance timers to detect periodic packet latency jumps (such as Windows WLAN AutoConfig 60s background scans or DFS channel hops).
