TP-Link - Archer AXE75

I have a tp-link wifi 6e router. Was 100 euro. 2400.mbps connection.

TPLink AX5400 or AXE5400, done. Those are around $100/$150 on Amaz right now, I did a quick check I am using AXE in 1800ish. The big thing on routers, be sure it has multiple CPUs in it, different class ARM stuff, but you want more than 1. /cheers

>How stable is Air Link or Virtual Desktop for sim games? (any lag, stutter, compression?) Highly dependent on your setup. Wireless VR would ideally want an ethernet connection from PC-Router, and you being in the same room as the router with your VR headset. Often people will opt for a dedicated router just for their VR. I bought a decent Wifi 6E router (AXE5400) and I get a pretty much perfect wireless experience despite it being the homes only router. For sim sitdown games it is probably less hassle to just plug in, not like the wire impacts sitting down sim gameplay anyway. >Is the visual clarity good enough for cockpit gauges and HUD reading? Yes but also depends on the settings you have and how capable your PC is. >Do you notice tracking issues when seated or using a steering wheel / HOTAS? Tracking for the headset itself is never an issue. Not many headsets have any problems tracking the headsets themselves. >How’s the comfort during long sessions? Should I replace the strap or facial interface? Both yes. Stock strap is crap, stock interface is crap and unhygienic. Replace both ASAP but avoid Meta branded as they are typically 2-3x the price for no jump in quality or usability. > How bad is the battery life when used for PCVR, and how do you manage it? Plug in when sitting down and battery isn't an issue. If wireless you can expect probably 90-120min battery, many people will opt to buy a headstrap with a battery since you are going to replace that stock strap anyway, and battery straps are more comfortable than those without due to the better weight balance on your head. > If you’ve tried other headsets (Index, Reverb G2, Vive, etc), how does the Quest 3 compare? I've owned Valve Index, Quest 2, Pico 4, Quest 3 lenses are what sets it apart from the rest. These pancake lenses are top notch and I will refuse to use any other headset that doesn't live up to this quality in the future. > Any annoying bugs or things I should know before buying? Meta UI is stupid and illogically laid out, along with trying ever so hard to promote Horizon worlds at any chance it gets. Also dialing in your wireless experience is an exercise, it's worth it in the end but at no point is it an enjoyable thing to do.

I have the AXE75 and it works amazing with the Quest 3

Paid only 45 dollars for a tp link axe75 brand new and it's better speed then the so called spectrum wifi and has all the settings to through tether... No more 10 a month

I got mine on Facebook, about 75% off. The guy bought two of them and he only needed one. It was brand new sealed, it's a $200 Wi-Fi.. I think Amazon has them on sale for $130 from 230 or so So my $45 was a hell of a good deal. Won't complain it has all the features of the spectrum Wi-Fi at $10 a month. Page for itself in just a few months

It supports 2.4, 5, and 6ghz, that's what the tri-band means. And literally any router is compatible with their modem. It has a standard 1gps port on it.

Just get a wifi 6 E router to replace the main router if it isnt already a wifi 6e not sure a dedicated VR router is necessary at all seem to be snake oil sales to me if I'm honest iv got 2.5gig fiber Internet in the UK and I have 1 TP link wifi 6e router that supply's my whole house with no issues I get 1200gig both ways via WiFi on most devices and the full 2.5gig on my desktops that's on ethernet and internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi Iv uses TP link for years there a good brand I also worked in IT & Telecommunications in the military for 7 years so iv got a good grasp on networking

One thought here. I got the AXE75 as it was suggested in Virtual Desktop Discord. That router gave me more headaches than I can count. It turned out that the AXE75 is a great router in the US but not in EU. We can't use the channels that US can use which made that router quite worthless. I tried for a month before I gave up and returned it. There is a megathread about that problem on Metas forum. So to TS: Do not get the AXE75 if you are in EU and do your homework on which one to get, it IS worth it to get a good router!

It was about a year ago so.. Problem was speed and fluctuation though. I used Openspeedtest server on my PC and my Q3 to measure LAN speed and connection between the two. Highly recommended to do btw. One test could show 900ish Mb and the next test, right after, 400ish Mb. The curve was like an EKG. It was horrible and all over the place. That is what that thread is about (and something about an update that broke it) and the same guy that started that thread also has a YouTube channel and videos about it. Sorry I can't remember his name or what the thread name was :-/ I tried ALL available channels and ALL different settings and googled it for literally weeks. (I don't work) United States and Europe don't use the same channels on Wifi. The fast, but still stable, channels are reserved to US I think. I'm not a pro on this. Some routers, like my old Asus, let me choose those US channels anyway but the AXE75 user interface did not. Neither was there a custom firmware or something like that. Anyway, in Virtual Desktop Discord channel I found people with the exact same problem, none of us managed to fix the problem though. AXE75 seems to be a great router in the US, but not for streaming to Q3 in EU/Sweden. Are you in US maybe?

I use TP Link AXE5400 wifi6e

I would say you want a 6e router. Put that in the room with your pc and headset. And you don't need to wire it to your main router, just to your pc. It's basically like a giant dongle that uses the fact that Wifi 6e sends a lot of data. 6e can't go through walls very well, so make sure headset and pc are in the same room, and it's not like an L shaped room with a corner blocking it or something. There's lots of youtube videos on setting it up. Also use virtual desktop, it's worth the little cost. Steam link is also okay and getting better. Air link or meta link or facebook brain blast or whatever they are called are not worth your time. Puppis S1 is also a great option. But 6e routers really are nice. If you get one of those make sure you set it up to have a 6ghz channel, and use that for the headset and have NOTHING else on that wifi channel. Heres the router list from the virtual desktop discord. I use the AXE75 cause it was discounted whenever I got it. I think spent like 80 bucks on it? Might have been used. I see one for 110 bucks on amazon right now. Ebay might work too, I'd bet you can find people selling them. I doubt used vs new matters much as long as it works. Heres a list of some others from the discord... yes one of those is literally a minion... yes it's the cheapest wifi 6e router that works well... > Community Tested Routers > The following routers have been reported to work reliably from a number of users: > (Preferred BE/Wifi 7) - TP-Link BE9300/BE550 ($179-$299 US) > (Preferred AXE/Wifi 6E) - TP-Link Archer AXE75/AXE5400 (~$190 US) > (Preferred AXE/Wifi 6E) - Davolink 'Kevin' Minion 6E ($129 US) > (AX/Wifi 6) - GL.iNet Beryl GL-MT3000 ($90 US) > (AX/Wifi 6) - PRISMXR Puppis S1 ($80 US) > (Last Resort AC/Wifi 5) - GL.iNet Opal GL-SFT1200 ($50 US) > (Last Resort AC/Wifi 5) - TP-Link Archer C6 or A6 ($40 US) > Achievable rates are subject to your specific setup, headset, wireless environment and could vary considerably.
