Hey everyone, I'm looking to stream games to my laptop upstairs using moonlight or Steam Remote Play. My old router was free but now it's not working well—its antenna is gone and it feels like a poor quality connection. Any suggestions for a better router? Also, my current setup causes Ethernet to drop if I connect a second device into the first one.
For setting up a mesh network, it's best to choose a set from a trusted manufacturer. In my opinion, their quality is quite similar, differing mainly in features and overall experience. I’m currently using ASUS AiMesh with a budget router. With just one device, it can be tricky to decide, particularly if you need strong 5G coverage. Many factors influence Wi-Fi performance, especially for short-range 5G signals. Unless cost becomes a concern.
The second unit is likely a router rather than a switch. Inserting another router alongside your primary one may disrupt your network.
Relies on your home setup. The design of your walls and materials play a role. Get a good router that fits your internet needs. Plug it into your ISP modem with an Ethernet cable. Connect the router’s Ethernet to your laptop via another Ethernet cable. Your ISP modem is identical to yours, limiting you to one Ethernet connection. So, ISP Modem → Ethernet → 2 PCs and 1 Laptop. I switched off the wireless on the modem entirely, using only the Wi-Fi from the router. The first floor uses a mesh network from the main RT-AC59U, but since it’s 140 feet away, most people prefer a stable, fast connection on the second floor anyway.
