Need assistance with your Wi-Fi card setup? Let me know what's going on!
I just purchased a VR headset and wanted to link it wirelessly using a Wi-Fi card. I read that it supports Wi-Fi 6 and 5GHz networks, so I was thinking about setting up a hotspot. Here are a few questions: First, will it work with a 2.4 GHz network to create a 5GHz hotspot? Second, can I use two Wi-Fi cards—one for regular Wi-Fi and another for the hotspot—to share bandwidth?
The 2.4 and 5GHz bands are distinct spectrums that don’t overlap. I’m not convinced about that, but I’m open to hearing from those with more experience.
A Router can manage both network types with built-in settings, while the Wi-Fi card just receives the signal. Features like Internet Connection Sharing on Windows 10 help achieve similar goals.
It seems you're asking about connecting two separate WiFi adapters to different signals in Windows 10. You mentioned needing third-party firewall routing tools because the OS doesn't handle traffic assignment automatically. This topic was discussed on a forum some time ago. I don’t have hands-on experience with the setup details, but there might be simpler alternatives. Regarding your VR headset question—do you need WiFi 6 support and an ad-hoc network for low latency? If so, it could be related to performance issues.
It's the Oculus Quest 2 with virtual desktop and an upcoming feature called "air link." Everyone I know, including Oculus, says you need a 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 connection. My router doesn’t meet that spec, so I’m looking for a Wi-Fi card that can connect directly to my PC without using the router. I’m still unsure if that’s feasible.
Consider switching to a WiFi 6 router. Are you working from a desktop or a laptop? Is it possible to connect via Ethernet between your computer and the router? Could you identify the specific model of your PC’s wireless card? What model does your current router have?
I tried to get this as quick as I could. It should connect directly from the PC to the headset, and I’m unsure if my operator supports Wi-Fi 6. I’m using a desktop, yes—actually I’m considering a powerline adapter even though I don’t need it right now. My 4Gigabyte GC-WBAX200 has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5, but I checked that it doesn’t support 5GHz.
