Small update for you: I did this on my AmpliFi HD mesh network and it worked pretty flawlessly! I tried it in multiple places around my house and didn't experience lag, exposure of apps I tried was super limited cause I got distracted by other things, but it's really nice! I also tried the Oculus Link method, and honestly the Virtual Desktop experience was surprisingly better? Maybe it's all in my head because it's all wireless and feels like magic haha

Loading up the SideQuest APK was super easy and has now led me down the awesome rabbit hole of poking at Oculus dev :D

That's great to hear!

As mentioned, definitely make sure you're connected to the 5GHz hotspot if it's available -- it makes a big difference in my experience streaming a regular desktop with VirtualDesktop. Also as you might be aware, unlike regular 2.6GHz wifi, please remember that 5GHz signals don't penetrate objects (including walls, furniture) so your best bet to reduce potential lag (and thus nausea) is to make sure your Quest always line-of-sight to the router.
