Hey Shi, Sorry mate wasn't online yesterday. You still having issues?

Can you give me the exact make and model of your Router please? Want to try and get you fixed up.

The Star Trek Bridge Crew needs you!! , well, the Captain needs you to make coffee.

The Hub one has terrible 5Ghz speeds. I would check the Plusnet page and see if they have a firmware upgrade for it.

Is your Quest 2 the only device using the 5Ghz network? Is it in the same room?

If I was you I'd try on of those tplinks, if it doesn't work you can always DSR return it.

think ive said over on the quest 2 page, so im getting confused, but anyway, i tried it like first thing in the morning when other devices were off. as i have my router on "smart" so thats both 2.4 and 5 ghz linked,
quest is on 5Ghz line which is good
but so are a lot of other things that family use and i dont have access to their passwords etc to change them from the 5Gz to the 2.4 Ghz if i disabled "smart"

but im working on it, im stuck with this at the moment

ill check Plusnet for firmware update and re-try it

thank you for your help

I don't know why I quoted melmac there..

I use a UAP-AC-LR, but mainly because I use them at work so got it cheap. Apparently the TP-Link TL-WA1201 supports the full 867 Mbps at 5 GHz, and in my experience the tp-link stuff is pretty good and that's only £35! If you're after wifi 6 then stock seems a bit weird at the moment, once the Ubiquiti U6-Lite comes in I'll likely upgrade, but you do need to run controller software on your PC to use that stuff.

All these would need a Cat5e back to the router or a switch by your PC (assuming you're PC is wired).

I suppose if you are using wifi on your PC then you could just plug your PC straight in to the access point, you'd need to make sure the TPlink is set to dish out DHCP in that case.

What is your network setup?

TP-Link TL-WA1201
not bad for £40
mine does full 867 speed as far as im aware (connected via Virtual desktop and says i get 867 speeds)

contacted plusnet, just replied saying there's a new version, so they will update me (as i cant do it my end)

 

[godinman]

Hum, just not sure. How does your pc connect to the router?

 

[ShiWarrior]

cat 5 ethernet, its 20 cm away , infact its all in my bedroom, PC, desk, router, quest etc etc

Not really relevant but this reminded of a mildly amusing story from a long time ago.

School where a relative was a teacher was setting up a computer room. 20 PCs unboxed onto 20 new desks, wired in and added to the proprietary software the local schools were using. The PC supplier wanted £100 per unit. I knew the software well enough and told the head that if he hired a skip I'd do the whole job for £200.

There was a sparks wiring in the network cabinet on the wall while I played with the beige boxes. His apprentice took a header off the step ladder and broke his arm. He went off to casualty and a flustered head appeared wanting to know what had happened. The sparks said, 'Lets just say he won't call me a [ladies' front bottom] again.'

Can you check your ethernet cable going between your PC and your Router. Is it Cat 5 or Cat 5e? Because if it's Cat 5, that could be where the problem is.

 

[ShiWarrior]

oh right
oh i dunno what it is
should i buy a new cable then ?

 

[ShiWarrior]

ill get a cat6 and give it a go

 

[melmac]

Don't buy anything if you don't need to!!

Check the cable it will say on it if it's Cat 5 or Cat 5e.

 

[ShiWarrior]

it says Cat 5e
came with the router, doesn't exactly feel good quality though lol

Reports on reddit that air link is very good, since it can use ASW (not sure exactly what it is...) and VD can't. Just waiting on the update now!
