#Recurring grey screen and stuttering

Hello!

I have an issue with my games, every 5 to 10 seconds, a framerate drop then a temporary greyscreen happens.

My games are VRChat, Star Wars Squadrons and War Thunder.
Star Wars Squadrons used to work flawlessly the day I got it. (It was in a different house.) In my current room, it gets these desynchs.
VRchat worked well yesterday, and gets the issue today.
War Thunder has this issue since yesterday. (I thought it was too hungry for my PC.)

I am using two trackers that came in the box. (So I assume 2.0 bases). One of them is flat atop a 1.9m high shelve, the other is flat on a wall recess 60cm high, both at opposite corners from each other.
My headset is wired.

Before I drill holes in my walls I wanted to know what could be the causes of these grey screens. Could it be performance related? I am using an Aorus 15P laptop with a 3070, 16G of ram.

I'll provide any spec required but I am very new to VR and I'm not sure what specs are relevant.

The screenshot may be relevant.

When I go to Update Device in SteamVR they say they are all up to date, yet there is this red cross for the first device when checking their channels.

for the LHB-CE22DFEB, can you move it a bit closer to the linkbox to see if can be detected okay?

It seems to have been a bad placement of the bases in my room indeed. I fiddled with their positions and have no more trouble with these grey screens.

Putting the base closer to the linkbox also seems to have solved that channel issue, at least for now.

Thank you!
