Anyone use a tri band router for their Quest 2? I currently have a TP-Link Archer C6 which works great, but it does mean all my other devices are stuck on the 2.4Ghz band, which is noticeably slower e.g. when browsing on my phone. Tri band sounds ideal as I could dedicate one 5Ghz to the Quest 2 and the other to everything else.
I did try using a TP-Link Archer AX50/AX3000 as the main router (with the Quest connected) and the C6 as an access point with a different SSID(for everything else) but it was unplayable - completely freezing every couple of minutes. Yes, hold my hands up, I didn't do my research before hand or I would have found the numerous reports of issues and known to stay well away!
I don't really want to have a dedicated router on the PC, as I don't have anywhere to put it (or a spare power socket!).
So is tri band the way to go, or go with my original plan of another dual band router (e.g. the Asus RT AX88u), and use the C6 as an access point?
Considering the TP Link AX11000 (currently a B Grade one on OcUK), as it also has 8 LAN ports which would be handy to get rid of the switch I'm currently using, but been put off TP link now due to my experience with the AX50, otherwise there is the Asus equivalent ROG Rapture AX11000 (expensive!), or even the AC5300, which is the wifi 5) version, as it seems it doesn't really make much difference (since it appears to work fine on my current router).
Or the cheapest option is a PCIE card such as the TP Link TX3000e with the external antenna? But there seem to be mixed thoughts on how well this works!
