Hello.
Could someone please suggest a wireless router/connectivity to achieve the farthest range and quality of internet and wireless signal over a 2 acre land?
I have a nighthawak ax12 rax200 and the range is not that great. The qulity of the wireless signal degrades pretty quick. The internet comnectivity i have is Gigabit Extra internet plan with download speeds of up to 1,200 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 35 Mbps.
I need a wireless connectivity that would work best for vr gaming away from the home, somewhere on the 2 acre land
Do you have Ethernet wiring throughout your property?
I personally loathe Mesh networks so always go with a high performance main router and then several wireless APs connected to the router or a switch, if necessary, via LAN.
EDIT: depending on what you want to do with the signal coverage you achieve, you could also obviously just put a phone with a hotspot into your pocket and have your devices connect to that for them to be able to go online. Wireless game streaming is pretty close to impossible this way, at least locally streamed.
100% agreed. Stay away from Mesh networks. wireless AP’s connected via cable are the way to go for bigger area’s. I personally love Ubiquity but I guess there are more good ones out there.
I would like to be bale to use the quest 3 via steam link/wireless for pcvr games, and also use the quest 3 via internet to play those games that run directly in quest 3 without a pc.
Should I change any router to get any stronger router ?
The main pc desktop can be connected via ethernet to a router. The quest 3 would need to run wireless around the property.
I would like to achieve game play on the land/outdoor so I can walk wherever with no locomotion limits
If you’re not up to date on current networking hardware and how to set it up, I‘d recommend getting a local professional involved to set this up for you.
Not using the router provided by your ISP is always a good practice. Get a high-end WiFi 6E or 7 router that has good reviews, offers PoE (!) and a beefy CPU und RAM.
Then also get 1-n Ubiquity 6E or 7 APs, run network cables (LAN7) with outlets throughout your property, set the APs to get their IP via DHCP from the router, set the SSIDs and select Channel 44 (EU) or 149 (US) on 5GHz bands with a channel width of 80Mbps.
Then measure coverage and ping, setting up new APs as required and you‘re golden.
But again, if any of this sounds complicated to you, pay a pro to do it, just like you would for any other electrician‘s job.
