I tried before the visionOS 27 DB and I still couldn’t get >1Gb speeds using the standard Internet Sharing via System Settings. I haven’t tested since then, but yes, I still continue to use this script in order to get 10Gb speeds. This script is only necessary if you need 10-20Gb speeds for LAN or Internet. Very niche, not many will need it. I have 10Gb LAN and Internet, and I couldn’t get any 10Gb USB C to Ethernet adapter to work with the Vision Pro back when I first got the 2nd Dev Strap. Any of the 1Gb 2.5Gb and (almost all) 5Gb adapters work. So if you only need 5Gb or less speeds, just use an ethernet adapter rather than going through your mac. I rarely need the 10Gb speed sharing via my Mac Mini (when this script is necessary), so I typically use a 5Gb adapter. I liked the Cable Matters one at first, as it was lightest, but now I prefer the Ubiquiti one since I can provide my own very long USB C (rated for at least 5Gb speeds), so it feels even lighter than having the actual dongle hanging. But if your router or switch or cables can’t support 5+Gb speeds, it doesn’t really matter which Ethernet adapter you use, whatever will feel lightest as it dangles from your head. tl;dr If you want 10GbE for the Vision Pro, you need a Mac with 10GbE and 10Gb Internet, yes I think the script is still required, yes it still works, and no ethernet adapter is required. I use a thunderbolt 4 cable between dev strap and mac mini. If you find a 10GbE adapter that works (I tried almost all of them last Fall), no Mac is needed.
You almost sounded competent until you said 10/40/100 GIGAbit. Those are deep in server speeds, not consumer hardware. 6e caps out around 10gbit, and even then the vast majority of boards DON'T have a 10g port. They'll have 1g or better boards will have a 2.5g. You lack reading comprehension. I said depending on hardware and if you have cat 6e+ obviously referencing the additional cat cabling above 6e if you want more throughput. Even the adapter you listed maxed at 1g. But why they buy that adapter and cable in the first place if you can just buy a USB cable? Just so you can stubbornly run VD? And yes the Q3 starts hitting decode limitations around 7-800 mbit, but VD caps you at 500, where ALVR caps you at 1000. Lack of critical thinking. Did I ever say you had to use that specific one? https://a.co/d/09G8v0LT 5Gbps And your "direct link" solution is even more laughable. Take 2 seconds and look up the bitrates when running through an adb bridge. That's far worse that Wi-Fi. The android ADB bridge is NOT fast. It's probably in "good enough" territory, but WAY slower than ALVR. Both are free and open source, why the hell wouldn't you just use ALVR? Once again, just so you can stubbornly use VD while paying MORE? 🤦 So you lack actual technical skills too which was obvious but thanks for confirming. All this is a relay of tcp traffic over USB. However your complaint was that a physical connection could not be used with VD. That comment was incorrect. Does ADB have less overall throughput? Yes, however, it has enough throughput to support the maximum of HEVC 10-bit and AV1 10-bit of 200 Mbps which can be visually as good as 500Mbps with Virtual desktop. I’m going to remind you what you posted because you’re losing track VD isn't the silver bullet way too many people portray it as. For this reason I found VD kinda disappointing. It doesn't support a direct USB connection, caps out at half the bitrate, and you have to PAY for it when ALVR is free. I just don't feel it's worth $25 when there's other options for free. $25 will literally buy a cheap dedicated router. I corrected you and gave you multiple different ways a direct connection works. But you’re over here angry about someone correcting your misinformation. Theoretically based on the links I’ve provided you can get more throughput via Ethernet. Which is irrelevant because we both agree the headset can’t even decode it. If you don’t want that but want a physical connection then the GitHub library I provided will handle that albeit with less throughput. Your statement: For this reason I found VD kinda disappointing. It doesn't support a direct USB connection Is wrong. Plain and simple.
