Help with Network setup

[cavemanoc]

I currently have sky fibre, and am using their box in the house. I am trying to get access in the garage, where the signal sits at about 1-2 bars. I picked up a TP-Link AX1500 Wi-Fi router to use as a wifi 6 access point, primarily to use my Quest 3 with the PC in the garage using airlink. I would run cat 6 between the 2 boxes if I could, but it is not feasible in the short term.

So, what I need is -

• Wifi 6 connection in the garage, connecting the Quest to the desktop.
• Connection linking the sky box with the TP-Link
• A way of gaining access to the internet through the TP-Link.

I had thought about simply bridging the connections in windows 11, but well... windows 11 bridging...

Any ideas?

Should add - current set up on the agarge PC:

• Connects to the Sky box via a wifi 6 wireless dongle (I've played with different antennae to fix the signal, but no dice so far)
• Connects to the TP-Link (hard wired) via the ethernet port on the mobo.

Ours is (was) a new build, and even the few meters from the router to the PC (on the same ring main) lead to unusable speeds unfortunately.

The most annoying thing is I looked at getting the Access Point version of the TP-Link, but it is based on mesh, which is, apparently, aweful for what I'm trying to achieve.

Having thought about it a bit more, I think I might simply be able to live with what I have. The PC is connectede to the internet via the Sky. I can connect the Quest 3 to the PC using Virtual Desktop on the TP-Link connection, it just means the Quest won't have internet. Should be fine hopefully.
