Thank you both for the replies.

Yes I have done just waht you both said, joined a VR forum, and having feedback.

It woud seem that as the Nighthawk is a 6E 6Ghz router, it would work, not only well, But somewhat of an overkill

for what I need it for,

Seeing as its only purpose will be to streem from PC to HMD.

As wasy cheaper options can be used. But I do like the look of it. 🙂

So may end up going for it anyway.

But I thank you both for the help.

For use with "Virtual Desktop," to run PCVR wireless to an "Oculus Quest 3".

Have you thought of asking the people who know about these applications?There may not be many around here.

I'd expect other users to be more knowledgeable on what works.

  6E is a "new" technology that has had problems with things like Intel's drivers for wifi devices. It is a technology for those who insist that they must have the latest and greatest, even if they don't need it.
  
  Overkill is probably right. And as FURRYe38 said, using wifi for gaming is not the best option. Wired beats it, even if you use Powerline Ethernet to reach devices that are out of wired ethernet range of the router.
