Fast and does what I need; simple set-up; lots of options; simple mobile app to manage
None currently (though Im not using it for much)
I got this router for 1 simple reason: playing PCVR games wirelessly using Virtual Desktop on my Oculus Quest and Quest 2, and it works flawlessly. I have my computer hard-wired to the router, the router set to repeat the existing wifi in the house (so I can still get an internet signal to my Quest when connected to the router), and the Quest connected to this routers 5G signal. I get a rock-solid 1200mbps in Virtual Desktop and have no issues at all - exactly what I needed.While not the main reason I got it, I also use this for Steam Link to easily play non-VR PC games on my TV, and, again, have no issues at all - no noticeable video or input lag, and everything always looks crystal clear at 1080p/60fps (the max Steam Link supports). No other devices in the house (except the Quests and Steam Link) are connected to the 5ghz router signal, ensuring the best speeds.I cant really comment on any other use-scenario - but if Virtual Desktop PCVR streaming or Steam Link are what youre looking at this router for, it works fantastically.
- 2.4 and 5g connection
- Good signal strength on 2.4
- Wired connection options
- signal strength on 5g is about 10 feet before it starts degrading
- unreliable lifespan
- expensive
- the 2.4 failed after about 1.5 years
- the 5g range is short enough to be useless
