Too many IoT stuff, internet speed is starting to get slow and family won't stop buying random garbage that needs internet.
30 devices is nothing. My entire house has wiz lights. About 51 of them. + 10 more random IOT and then our phones and laptops and TVs (may be ~5 or 6) I am on a crappy TP link archer C6 router. 200mbps ISP speed. I don’t see any lag or buffering while streaming.

Who is waiting to the Steam Frame and who doesnt care?
Kevin refers to a top-notch "bang-for-buck" router that supports WiFi 6E. It's really well priced, but the name comes from that the router looks like Kevin, from the Minions movies LOL. Also to inform others, this is the suggested list of best routers per VirtualDesktop Discord: (Preferred BE/Wifi 7

Got Virtual Desktop and want to look into the dedicated router setup. Am I doing this right?

Starting to give up on my vr dream
This, 100%. I had issues with my setup when using a dedicated TP Link Archer C6 router wired to my PC. Replaced it with a ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 tri-band 6E router and the difference was night and day, resolved all my issues.

I bought the Archer C6, but I regret it now; I should have bought the Archer AX12.
I forgot to mention that after turning on the archer c6, it takes 3 minutes and 30 seconds to 4 minutes to provide internet access. It is extremely slow—even slower than older, cheaper 2.4 ghz routers. Furthermore, those older models could reach further than this one can.

Does Archer Ax53 support MU-MIMO?
so basically it will give poorer performances in wifi 5 compared to routers like Archer C6, Archer C80, right?

What the hell is wrong with my new TP-Link Archer AXE75 router? These speeds…?
I have the same router and it's not good at all. I turned off 802.11ax on both 2.4 and 5Ghz and stability significantly improved. Its signal is weaker than on my older Archer C6 v2.
