Is wi-fi 6 worth it over wi-fi 5?
Right now I'm looking at accespoints after getting a switch (supporting PoE+), mainly the TP-Link Omada EAP245 and the Netgear WAX214, the netgear supporting wi-fi 6 at 1.200Mbits on the 5Ghz band while the tp-link has wifi 5 yet 1.300Mbits on that 5Ghz band.
I'll be using it in a single room to make for a stable link to wireless VR on an Oculus Quest (Airlink), which requires a pretty decently fast connection. Aswell as other devices such as my laptop and my phone.
I was wondering if there are any significant advantages of wi-fi 6 in my use case or otherwise any other suggestions for accespoints.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

If you're doing it mainly for your occulus go with the wifi 6. The occulus supports wifi 6 and will have a better connection.
