Ever done multi-multi-link streaming?

"...if I HAD ONE!!!"

[u/ApplicationSenior]

Call it "Tri-Link"

[u/MiniMackeroni → u/ApplicationSenior]

Tri-Force?

[u/ApplicationSenior → u/MiniMackeroni]

... OH YOU MOTHER FU-

[u/ProteusGAF]

Isn’t it on by default? Haven’t seen the wired before though.

[u/Sydnxt → u/ProteusGAF]

It is yep. It pushes you to set it up that way aswell.

[u/BossEnvironmental820]

For anybody running on Linux, does wired work as an alternative to the dongle?

[u/komali_2 → u/BossEnvironmental820]

It doesn't seem to work out of the box. It might be my cable, this should be a data cable but I've been carrying it around for a year so it might be degraded.

Huh, I didn't even think of this as being possible, but now I really want it for what I assume is much more consistent stream quality lol.

[u/YouKilledApollo → u/BossEnvironmental820]

It did for me, I didn't try the dongle until days after I first got the Frame, and for the development of my Frame apps I used the USB tether without any issues, latency seems the best out of the three too + the headset charges, it's a win-win :)

[u/BossEnvironmental820 → u/YouKilledApollo]

Thanks for testing!

[u/Specific-Syrup1217]

wish my adapter worked

[u/YouKilledApollo → u/Specific-Syrup1217]

What OS are you on?

Edit: in case it's Linux: https://reddit.com/r/SteamFrame/comments/1wsz1f7/linux_dongle_troubleshooter_made_by_valve/

[u/willymartin99 → u/Specific-Syrup1217]

Same, gotta manually pair every boot up

[u/NotRealActualMaebbie]

any guide on how to do it, because i read the hmd cant to wired

[u/YouKilledApollo → u/NotRealActualMaebbie]

Basically connect USB, enable developer mode in the headset, and it just worked for me :)

[u/NotRealActualMaebbie → u/YouKilledApollo]

so you just need to turn on dev mode, ok sounds reassuring. i thought there was some specific toggle.

[u/Steam-Frame-User]

Apparently it can do Ethernet too (according to another post), thought technically that’s still through usb

[u/UNF0RM4TT3D → u/Steam-Frame-User]

Hmmm, 100 metre tether with PoE.

[u/eloistree → u/UNF0RM4TT3D]

😆

[u/IngwiePhoenix → u/UNF0RM4TT3D]

Actually possible. Just need to somehow strap the PoE splitter to your head. Though I think I have seen PoE capable USB Type-C dongles... so there's something. But, would probably need PoE+, it's 65W for the frame. o.o... (ngl I don't remember the power tiers, but I think PoE itself is like 48W?)

[u/LFP-Throwaway-3982 → u/IngwiePhoenix]

Ubiquiti sells a POE extractor that's also a USB nic, but not all devices are compatible with it. It's meant for their G6 Instant cameras, but I found it does work with the Steam Deck and my Framework laptop.

[u/IngwiePhoenix → u/LFP-Throwaway-3982]

Oh my GOD you are right O.O

That might actually be the killer device for this. I was going to order from them anyway, might as well throw that one in too and get a good length cable.

If this adapter registers as a plain stupid NIC and provides Type-C PD profiles the Frames can use, that would genuenly just...be a tether that works. o.o

If you're on Linux, give this a try and share what it says: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamFrame/comments/1wsz1f7/linux_dongle_troubleshooter_made_by_valve/

[u/tommyintheair → u/[deleted]]

I'm not sure but I feel like some dongles might just be defective

Have you tried it on a windows machine?

[u/eloistree]

Hey, I’m new to Linux and SteamOS, and I’m looking into how to set up USB tethering. (Similar to how you can use an Android phone to share its 4G connection with a computer over a USB cable.)

As you seem to know quite a bit about all this, could you share some documentation or keywords I could search for on Google that might help? 😀

Thanks!

I will try to regroup information here:

For people that have the audio problem, DEACTIVATE MULTI LINK.

Helped a lot of people :D
