Quest 2 with Oculus Link: I keep getting random disconnections from PC

[lwalter]

It's completely random and can happen every minute in a given period or not at all for a whole hour.

I have no clue what's going on. I was even wondering if it was because there were both Oculus app and SteamVR running together, but doesn't seem to be the root cause.

I also denied the file access from PC to Quest 2, because I read somewhere that it would help against these disconnections, but no luck

The only way I could reliably keep a connection was by using Airlink. That's OK, but I wonder why there are so many problems with the Oculus Link cable.

BTW it's not only happening with IL2, but any other VR app.

I tried almost every solution I could find on Internet, but no luck.

Finally, I decided to use AirLink. Since then I have no more disconnection issues and quality looks same. 

I can still use the cable for charging while I'm playing... but if I knew I would use a much cheaper charging cable

One thing that helped me with constant disconnects was to disable any software which puts the computer into "gaming mode" including Windows.  I read in a couple articles that Quest 2 needs to able to work in the background and such software limits its ability to do so.  I disabled my Windows gaming mode and a software program I had which would boost my computer by turning off background programs. The disconnects stopped.
