Router for student dorm

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

What’s a smart, realistic business to start right now with $15k-20K?

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.

Which one of these routers for PCVR ?

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

Why do games look better in wireless pcvr on quest 2.

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

Rant post: Quest 3 is the worst VR product I have ever bought, and the bar was already very low

... 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

TP-LINK AC1200 as AP slow internet speed

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

Poor wifi reception in apartment

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

What is a rock-solid affordable router for an average family?

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

I'm tired of hearing "Just use VD or ALVR", it should just work

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+.
