Ok, so yeah the TP-Link TL-WR902AC Router that you shared above would work, but you might be better served by getting a more common Wifi Router setup, such as one of the following. Archer AX20 https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax20/v4/ Archer A8 https://www.tp-link.com/us

TL-WR841N is around 20 bucks and beats the pants off of the fake routers. It's perfect for 1000-1500 sq ft. For larger homes, the Archer A6 is phenomenal. Both routers are insanely easy - just plug em in and the password's on the bottom.

The ASUS RT-AX58U V2 should do the job nicely. Its AX with 160mhz channel width. Do not get the the TP-Link Archer C6, its a wireless AC router and they sometimes dont play well with newer wifi 6E devices like the Quest 3/Pro, tablets/phones/laptops. I just replaced my home routers from the Archer A

Network cards aren't the best solution, ideally you want a router in your room ( set up as an access point or not ) that your PC is connected to via ethernet, then you want your headset to be connected to that router. The Virtual Desktop discord has a list of known-good routers that work for VR and

... Are you seriously trying to base how good a router is off of it's price? TP Link AX routers are well known to have overheating & throttling problems. I find it hard to believe that you supposedly spent all this time researching Quest and Quest problems but never thought to put "Quest good router

My TP-Link AC1200 Gigabit WiFi Router (Archer A6) is giving me the same issues. One is running fine at 550 550. But my second one is connected via ethernet, I have the second set in Access Point Mode and I get stuck where it won't go higher than 100 mbps. But rebooting everything so many times, ofte

Semantics is “mesh” = “router + wireless access points” whereas wired backhaul is “router + wired access points”. I have a 3-point TP-Link Deco X55 and while it’s marketed as a mesh system, I am using ethernet backhaul to get full speed and wifi signal strength to each node and my internet experienc

if u go option one, it is easy to use easymesh. just plug lan cable and activate the mesh in both router. one for the source, and one for the client node. ax10 will do just fine if your budget not much and it also has support for wired backhaul mesh iirc. deco will be more expensive imo. the only co

By far the worst router I ever owned was a $200 Netgear, and the best is my current one: a $16 TP-Link Archer A6 from amazon. I have fiber and reach the full 300-400mbps expected from wifi. It never needs to be reset, the range is fantastic, it is mesh-capable, and TP-Link firmware is just as good o

You don't need a $70 router. I got an archer a6 for $22 on eBay and I can play with h265 max bitrate perfectly without any stutters. The only thing it can't do is really high bitrate h264+.
