Review: Amazing but if your connection speed is average, you might have problems! - I have to admit, after reading the reviews and researching and making sure this would be something worthy, I finally bought this and got it yesterday. I was worried from the start that this was going to be a waste but I was so hopeful due to the fact that the INTEL wireless adapter was not an option for me because of the laptop set up. I was so disappointed because INTEL is the real deal and backed by the company 100%! I got all the items and started the set up. I was scared as @@&)&!$ after paying out $300 for this thing, all I could remember is saying to myself please work please work lol! Got everything set up, lights blinking everywhere, the manual totally sucked and didn’t tell you jack! I quickly turned to Utube for help. It took me exactly three videos and almost two hours later to get everything connected. The router was connected wrong and the headset was not recognizing the receiver. If you have a TPCAST or you are thinking of getting one, you have to sync the headset receiver to the other receiver that will be placed higher than you. It doesn’t have to be next to a base module as explained in one of the videos. Your other connection from your computer to the router has to be connected in one of the yellow ports, not the blue one if you are running WiFi to your set up. This was part of the frustration for me after understanding this. FINALLY after almost two hours everything was on and ready to go. Make sure you power down everything if you run into a problem during set up, it will NOT recognize anything if you just simply restart your set up. Unplug and shut down everything. Once that’s done and you download the software from the website, it will check to see if everything is connected. I have a Alienware 17r5, the connection to TPCAST is flawless and smooth as butter! I think one of the issues that some people are having is if your internet connection speed is not above average, your going to have issues. My connection is the fastest speed/connection that Comcast has and it worked flawless. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. But, the set up is a mother LOL! Other than that, this is a five star rating for me! Update: 10-26-18 so the TPCAST is still working great. One small issue. When I first start it up it says that the VIVE has an error 208. Simply unplug the unit box, USB cables and HDMI cables only. After re connecting them, reboot the VIVE through steam and presto, your back in business. I was able to enter VR games, quit those games and enter other games with no interruption. Now I know this isn’t how things are suppose to work. The playing and selecting should be flawless. Unfortunately that’s not how it works for me and I’m ok with the extra small steps to get it to work over all. This is still a 5 star rating for me. The only mistake I made was getting the laptop because although it’s a powerful machine that can run VR, a desktop is just going to be better because of the upgrade options. So, I bought a desktop lol. Now the other option for it is the intel wireless which should perform much better and consistently than the TPCAST. But, it still works. If it’s not completely broke, don’t fix it lol! Review: Hot garbage, bricked before a month in - The Good: - When it's working it doesn't drop frames and has low latency - Five hours worth of charge The Bad: - It's not just a three-piece setup, the simplicity is oversold - You need to add in an additional (included) router - You lose front camera functionality (can't use chaperone mode with camera) The Ugly: - It's a temperamental bugger. Took ages to set up initially and then it worked fine for a while but after that it all went to hell. - Instructions are worse than useless and refers to sections that are not even present in the user guide. Needs better localization. - No troubleshooting steps in user guide and troubleshooting recommendations on site are copy-pasted from user guide. Lack of support. I like what it promises but ultimately it fails to deliver. It's more frustrating than anything else. UPDATE 2018-01-14: So after using this for a while I have some additional tidbits. Part of the connectivity problems stem from how the software interfaces with SteamVR. If you can't get it to connect the first time here's my recommended steps: 1. Close out Steam entirely and relaunch SteamVR. 2. Repeat previous step and also close out and restart the TPCast software. 3. Repeat previous steps and also unplug/replug battery and cables. It turns out there is a troubleshooting guide that wasn't immediately apparent or in the documentation. I found it only by clicking the text in the software saying "HMD not bright?" Link here: tpcastvr.com/vive-errorcode The hardware can suffer frame stuttering as time goes by due to the receiver on your head starting to overheat. It *really* should have been built with active cooling because sometimes it heats up enough I'm worried it's going to set my hair on fire. One 5V fan can't cause that much EMI on the 5GHz band :/ Update 2018-01-22 Well it's dead now and won't even connect anymore. Support is unresponsive so off to the return bin it goes. It powers on but beyond that it's a brick. I'd go through the whole warranty process but at this point it's just worn me down enough I no longer care. I'll try this again after the Vive Pro comes out. ## Features - Wireless connection adaptor for HTC Vive - Easy to Install, No modifications required - The transmission Resolution is up to 2K and provides an extraordinary virtual reality experience - Getting rid of the HMD data cables enables full freedom to move around - Battery Pack provides up to 6 hours of operation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074D471C4 | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Polymer batteries required.

This has been running without fail for a long time now, it seems as if things have matured. Vive Starts every time for at least 3 or 4 months now. Original Post--- Many of you (like myself at one point shortly ago) were wondering if this wireless device is worth it. I am here to answer that question for you. Concerning the green light on the edge of the lens. This is nearly a non issue. It is there, but barely visible if there is a dark screen such as during loading times. It is COMPLETELY invisible during game play. In fact it was days and days of use before I even noticed it. Do not let this be a factor in you decision. A non issue. Concerning the “whine” coming from the transmitter. I have none. Not at all. I am not sure if this is newly fixed or a random event that some people complain about. But in either case. I have no noise at all. Concerning latency and general usability. Nearly perfect. When I am playing, I notice no difference in lag or latency. It works the same as wired, only no wires! The immersion is so much better. I have about a hundred hours now of play time with the wireless, occasionally you will get a small drop (grey screen) for a few seconds, but that is about it. I can play Skyrim VR for hours and will have a drop out only a few times. So it is not perfect, but not a deal breaker. I have my satelites 20 feet apart, further than recommended. I have a huge room play area. So I am really testing the limits of the satellites and wireless ability. Again, results are about the same as wired. At this point, I could never go back to the wires. So here is my issue. Getting the headset to light up is somewhat challenging. Many users experience the same issue. Often you must restart the “ritual” of rebooting PC, restarting the TPcast software and finally the SteamVR software. If it is a good day, the headset will light up and off you go. Once the headset lights up, you can play for hours and hours without any trouble. If the Vive does not light up, A tip to all the frustrated users- simply unplugging the diplay port cable (which I use for the Vive) from the computer, and plugging it back in will get things going. But before I discovered this tip, truth is that I had spent 10 or 20 minutes some days trying to get it going, frustrating. There seems to be no logic or explanation for this, and appears to be a common event as reported by forums and reviews. I experience about a 90% rate of success, there have been a few days that I gave up and could not play. Only to try later that day, and miraculously everything works fine??? I have worked with TPCast support several time and they were quick to help, but didn't have a solution for me. They suggest rebooting etc. as described earlier. Setup of the hardware was relatively easy, a little time consuming, but not bad. It does work with the Deluxe audio strap which I have and recommend. I didn't have any trouble at all with set up or downloads. The battery life is really good. I have yet to run out. I get a true 4 or 5 hours of play, which I can never use in a session. If you have multiple users in your household, consider an additional battery because the take a long time to recharge, typically overnight. So to do or not to do. I always believe that if I'm going to do something, I might as well go all in. I want the best experience possible. But for most people, truthfully it depends on you wallet. If $300 is not to big of a deal, then go for it. The immersion and usefulness are worth every penny. You will likely be frustrated from time to time attempting to get it going, but not as happy as you will be when you are using it. But if the money is a stretch, you might want to hold on until prices drop or more mature connectivity is available. I hope this helps. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/53698943-tpcast-wireless-adapter-for-htc-vive-pc](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/53698943-tpcast-wireless-adapter-for-htc-vive-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
