If you could post a link to the USB extender you're using that would help a lot. My best guess is you have an extender that just boosts the signal strength and uses the ethernet cable as a simple twisted pair, instead of packetizing the data and sending it over TCP or UDP.
​
All the USB extenders I've found that work using the actual ethernet protocol only use one device. Meaning that there's a box you plug your devices (e.g. keyboard, flash drive) into that has an ethernet port, and then you use a software client on the computer you want to connect them to.

My gf revealed that I'm getting an early birthday present and that it's a vive. That's good because now I'm doing research on how I'm going to set mine up. I'm looking at getting a long USB and HDMI cable to run downstairs from my main PC since my HTPC isn't powerful enough. The distance is approximately 9 meters (~30 feet). Seems like an active USB extender and Active HDMI cable would be fine for that distance. Unless USB over Ethernet would be better.
Another question is: if I take the mini display port on the link box and plug it into a TV (with an HDMI adapter or something) would it display anything? Would like my TV to show what the Vive is seeing so people can watch. But if that doesn't work I'll just use the steam streaming.
Edit: list of products I'm looking at, if anyone has opinions on it.

Here's an unpowered one, it may only work well if it's plugged into a powered USB HUB, as the voltage drop could be an issue. https://www.amazon.com/Over-Ethernet-RJ45-Extender-Adapter-x/dp/B0029HRYBK
