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

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

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+.

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

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
