I want to connect my oculus 3s
Toy PC wirelessly
Also can you add a third?
And is the interface the same as the other Asus routers?
I love their interface but I haven't had a good experience with Asus routers.
I have a lot of stability issues
With my ac5300
And need to upgrade

For this XT9 mesh system, typically the idea is both nodes broadcast at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (bands 1 and 2) for clients to connect to and then the 3rd band (also 5Ghz for this model) will be used for a wireless backhaul to keep strong connection between the 2 nodes. If you have a wired backhaul you could make that 3rd band dedicated solely to VR. Otherwise you can have the VR connect to the first 5Ghz band or open up the 5Ghz backhaul band for the VR headset to connect to. The problem is if you have several other clients it can create interference and slow down your VR connection.
The nicest thing this particular mesh system has going for it is the fact that they can use the UNII-4 segment of the 5Ghz spectrum for their wireless backhaul. This portion of the spectrum is barely used and since it is 5Ghz instead of 6Ghz it has better range and penetration. You can add a 3rd node as well (or however many u want really). Dongknowstech has some good info about these routers and the UNII-4 spectrum if you're interested.
Honestly though your AC5300 should work fine for VR, maybe you are getting interference or haven't set it up properly or just have a lot of clients connecting to it. It should be connected to your computer via ethernet if you want to do wireless VR and the headset should be connected to the 5Ghz band and the headset should be in the same room as the router. To improve performance with your current router you might try setting a different SSID for one of the 5Ghz channels and only using that SSID for VR. So you'd have 5Gnet that all your normal clients connect to and 5Gnet_VR that you only use for your Quest. You'll want to enable 160MHz for your VR band and try to find a range with limited interference (you can use a phone app like Wifiman to scan to see what channels your neighbors are on).
But I haven't even tried VR on it at all.
I am just speaking about the general performance.
It sucks.
Its the biggest most unstable POS ever even for regular stuff.
I think it gets hit with Russian mal ware like 5 times a day.
Can't confirm though.
It constantly drops clients
Asus routers are really garbage I just like their interface.
I am running Merlin on it but now that is not supported anymore either.
As if this week I have been having extremely bad issues with my smart home lights and cameras that I never had this bad before.
I am ready to take a sledge hammer to it
