Yeah, that's a possibility. I did fly the router all the way here but if I really can't use it I will go wired. Sadly I couldn't get WiVRn working on wired, and ALVR had really bad performance.

My router is an Archer C6 from TP-Link. I've never used OpenWrt, but I have used Linux on my laptop & server for many years. Is this worth looking into/possible without any prior networking knowledge?

Yeah, I get why they do it security-wise (but am mad about the surprise extracting money part, which was not in the dorm contract!). The dorm isn't from uni (it's a third party) but they did seem on my side given they said I could indeed bring a router... the ISP is the problem here. I think I will feign ignorance and set the settings as low as they'll go while still being able to maintain a good connexion to the headset. Maybe hide the SSID too (it has my name on it lol).

I'm only staying for a semester (via Erasmus, or what remains of it post-Brexit) so while I did consider this I don't think it's very viable.

So technically I should get away with connecting the router and making an AP right? I can't do a hotspot from my laptop because the performance is not high enough for streaming (this is why I bought a dedicated router).

Yeah, that's what I did at my previous dorm (which didn't have a third party ISP trying to sell stuff to students). I brought that same router to this one because they told me it was fine, but now I'm faced with these T&C I didn't know about from a third party.

Yep, that's what I mean with VR streaming. The PC connects thru eth to the router, and the headset is connected to the router's AP via wifi. I get the point about unauthorized access, but I set strong passwords and never share them. I think this clause is more about preventing me from connecting more than one device to the internet, which they want to charge me for if I do. Obviously having my own AP would allow me to easily circumvent that.

You can kinda get autofill via a program called rofi-rbw on Wayland desktops (using wtype), but I found at least on Hyprland it often misses the field or the start of the password. I'd like to see a more consistent solution but definitely not via the official Electron app...

Something I can use to browse GitHub repositories, reply to and create issues, and get notifications for issues on my own repos.

I do too. Envision has an option to install "WiVRn" which I found worked way better than ALVR.

Thank you so much :D I had a lot of fun with that one; happy you liked it.

I use this and love it! I can't remember whether it was a "FairEmail Pro" feature though (one-time donation to unlock pro features). Regardless it works great.
