I know you’re interested in wireless solutions but, no matter what gimmicky claims they put on the box about new WiFi standards, you’re always going to have issues gaming over WiFi except in specific, idealized conditions. I highly advise getting a box of Cat 6a Ethernet cable, a good crimper tool, and a container of RJ45 connectors, and just make your own cables of the length you need - much cheaper than the ready-made long cables.

Isn't cat 6e a gimmick? To the best of my knowledge 6a is a standard because of shielding. This person's best bet is running a cat 6 cable. Find a way.
I think OP is referring to the WiFi 6E standard, not the Ethernet categories.
Oh, thanks for clarification. I remember either tomahawk or general cabling selling cat 6e a couple years back.
Tangentally, the only long distance cat 6 that's marketed for higher speeds is Paige gamechanger cable.
You're correct, though - there is no Cat 6e standard. It's just a marketing gimmick called "Cat 6 enhanced." You may or may not see better performance from it. This is a nice short summary.
I had a friend in high school that ran Ethernet from his mom’s basement up 3 flights of stairs to his Xbox, the wire stapled to the ceiling.
I use Virtual Desktop, but agree Steam Link is 100 percent better than AirLink. The problem is, you need to have an access point to dedicate to your Quest. I use a Unifi AP-AC (Wifi 5), and it tops 866 Mbps. No issues with lag at all, as more importantly, my desktop is ethernetted. Your best bet is to find a way to snake an ethernet up there, and put a switch/AP or a router in AP mode up there. Ethernet the PC, and put a unique ssid on the ap. Now your Quest can connect on a dedicated wifi, and it's not fighting for airtime with your own PC and a dozen devices, or sending a signal through the floor that may not be reaching reliably.
Does it matter if it jumps somewhere above 1 Gb/s? Why?
