This is what I have experimented with and works great on multiple systems... For you look at step 2 and 3.

1st GET A THIRD SENSOR IF YOU WANT TRUE ROOMSCALE "they are on backorder at the moment"

2nd Get three of these for your sensors to make sure they can reach anywhere you want them too: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0179MXKU8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

3rd Get 2 of these to completely isolate all of you VR components from the sometimes janky unreliable USB ports on A LOT of motherboards that cannot supply enough power and/or bandwidth for all of the cameras and HMD to work properly I chose this card because it only has two ports and both of those ports work no matter if you plug in 2 sensors or 1 sensor and the HMD. The Inatek card DOES have issues for somewhere some ports work and others do not and are still only being able to run 2 sensors off the Inatek card and having to run the HMD and 3rd sensor off the motherboard. The Orico card just works and you don't have to think about experimenting with ports just plug everything into the two Orico cards in any configuration and go. Also use the default Windows drivers whether you go with the Inatek or Orico card only upgrade after trying the defaults drivers without success: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVSN2YG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

4th This is optional. One of these for extending your HMD HDMI cable by 15ft for a total of 28ft: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D5EUD2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

5th This repeater is required to make the HDMI cable above work, but with this repeater, the extension is flawless: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHL72XS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

6th To extend the Rift HMD USB I use the USB 2.0 Active Extension Monoprice Repeater Cable that comes with the 3rd sensor it is 16ft long, works perfectly. Then I used a small piece of electrical tape every 6 inches from the HMD to the PC to make the extended HMD cable one piece leaving about 2 ft of cable loose at the end to be able to plug in wherever I want.
I did a lot of research bought the Inateck and Orico USB add-on cards, multiple active USB extensions, multiple different HDMI adapters and extensions of varying lengths, Display port to HDMI adapters, DVI to HMDI adapters, and did all the experimentation and testing required to make all this work. The list I listed above works every time on multiple systems in different environments, rooms, and households.
If you need clarification on anything and/or want more information, feel free to respond or message me. I will gladly help.

After you get your USB cards installed and you sensors plugged in with the hardware I listed above reboot the system and the follow the below instructions.

Also when you get your stuff after everything is installed and setup do this as a last step for good measure:
Once the sensor setup has fully completed, search for PowerShell in the Windows start menu, right click it, and click 'Run as administrator'
Copy all of this PowerShell script (hit Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C), then paste it into the PowerShell window (Ctrl-V), then hit Enter
Once it has completed, close PowerShell and restart your computer (this is important)
Here is the link to the script, just copy all the text on the page and past it into powershell: http://pastebin.com/raw/9f9MMny1
This basically sets all of your usb cards and ports to a high power no sleep mode and assures that Windows doesn't try to manage your usb's at the wrong time in the wrong way. I am not sure if I needed to do this but I just did it for good measure. I did all of the manually until I found this script that somebody else on reddit made. Just makes it quicker and easier than changing all the settings one by one.

Note if you haven't done this already you can do it now with your current setup to see if it helps "Probably won't but it may"

The latest drivers from the Fresco site work fine for me,

but there are also a few registry tweaks that might help:

It would be interesting to see if someone could patch the PointGrey xHCI driver to work with the Oculus sensors...

You can try this to disable USB power management under Power Options (for every power scheme):

https://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/50276-power-options-add-remove-usb-3-link-power-mangement.html

I also found a Microsoft debug tool that can disable USB low power states globally on their xHCI driver:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/hardware/dn376879%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

I've not tested it myself yet, but it should work with Windows 10.

I've had no problems with the latest ASMedia 1142 drivers and firmware either,

their USB 3.1 cards are cheaper and PCIE X2 (so more bandwidth for x3 sensor setups)

https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Expansion-Adapter-external-Connector/dp/B01AVSN2YG

Most of the connection reset issues actually seem to be power related anyway,

the easiest fix for this is running the Rift through a (decent quality) powered hub:

u/Codenamelenny · 3 pointsr/WindowsMR

It sounds like the same problem I had where the usb port wasn't giving the headset enough power. I bought an USB expansion card and that fixed it.

It was this card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01AVSN2YG?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

u/Colonel_Izzi · 3 pointsr/oculus

Only one of the cards can't be shipped to the US, and it was just an example of a product that was based around the ASM1142 chipset anyway. I think that there's a good chance that they'll all work, which is why I linked to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AVSN2YG/. It's probably the same card that is being recommended here.

The other card I mentioned was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J4CHJNA/

I'm using it with my Rift right now, with no problems. It utilizes the same Fresco Logic FL1100EX chipset that the recommended Inateck card uses.

u/Detective_Hacc · 2 pointsr/WindowsMR

Sounds like the common "USB ports aren't compatible" problem that I was having.

I bought a PCIe USB expansion card and that solved it.

This one, specificlly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVSN2YG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/evil-doer · 1 pointr/oculus

The Orico card works great.

Got 2 sensors on the mobo usb3 and 2 on this card, works fine.

Like I said, it does tell you on that page I linked to, I ended up ordering the one in bold, no issues (aside from a driver one initially heh). I've had a few days of issues until I got that:
