Okay so what im trying to do is connect to my VR Headset which can only be used via 5Ghz but also needs to be on the same connection as my PC where i have Ethernet, i was just seeing if i could change my ethernet to 5Ghz or is that not possible.

What actual router do you have? (you've put 2 different ones in your signature)
What vr headset is it?

It is the nighthawk X8 AC5300.
Im using an Oculus Quest 2, on 5Ghz for best performance since it keeps freezing on 2.4Ghz

From what I've looked up, the occulus quest 2 needs a usb-c to link it and a pc for streaming the games vr content to the occulus.
