@Xeno errm, this one I think Belkin USB-C Multimedia Adapter (USB-C Hub with VGA, 4K HDMI, USB 3.0, Ethernet Ports) For MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Surface Pro, Chromebook and more https://amzn.eu/d/4M8GtRx - but should work with any PD and Ethernet hub

Hi, thanks for the hints. I’ve got networking part working with Belkin USB-C 1Gbps ethernet adapter:

but charging while play seems to be not really working. IE HMD says it’s connected and charging, but still discharges battery when playing even without streaming from PC. It was charged from original Pico power supply connected to the adapter. It looks like it limits power to what can be drawn from standard USB port. I assume that’s HMD limitation, it can do full speed recharge or use USB device. Is your setup able to keep your HMD battery from discharging? If so, may I ask you what’s your headset software revision? Mine is latest stable: 5.8.2.I’ve tried that adapter with laptop, it provided network and kept battery charged while CPU (Ryzen 5 2500) was 100% busy with playing 8k@60Hz HDR video from youtube. So adapter itself works as advertised.

@Xeno Honestly, I’ve not looked, but at no point have I had a low battery notification, and I’ve done several quite long flying sessions (several hours), so I don’t think it’s discharging rapidly if it is at all. Some discharging is probably healthy for the battery, at a guess?

@Razor161 I tried the tool on my quest 3 but it kept cutting out every few seconds, do you know what might be happening?

@A-random-F
I have no idea. It works fine for me without any issues in my Pico 4. -
@Razor161 likely a problem with meta blocking data outputs to the usb port
