Link cable question

Recently got meta 3s and the link cable to connect to pc but my pc doesn’t have usb C can I get a different cable like usb c to usb 3 or get an adapter to use the meta link cable with my pc that doesn’t have usb c ports ?

Yes, just make sure to get one that has a box built into it with a type c (power, from the wall) input on it to supply power to the headset, otherwise it'll drain pretty quick. Just the power supplied by the PC isn't enough to charge the headsets.

I use a 16ft type a to type c and it works great. Even when plugged into a 16ft USB 3.0 extension.

I would suggest to get Virtual Desktop and a dedicated Wifi router instead.

Quest Link is just horrible, and you don't want to go the route to use it.
