The Honor router gives worse signal than my existing router unfortunately. Again it's fine when using the Quest in the same room, but down in my lounge it's pretty poor. I'll keep it though as it looks like it'll be a good dedicated solution for Virtual Desktop when I get wiring down to the lounge.
The Quest connected fine at 1200mps though, so it should give better results than a standard 5ghz router.
Well, it's a very cheap router for a reason. Not surprised your existing router works better from longer distances.
But, as you say, it will be great as a dedicated access point for Virtual desktop.
