I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it “wasn’t compatible” with Verizon’s service. I still have it (because I’m terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?

    I assume you had a hardline from the VR router to the central router? Otherwise wouldn’t the wireless communication between the VR router and the central router be in the same competition as the VR headset was before?

      Most/all of the data transfer in their case wouldn’t be hitting the regular router; the spare router would only be acting as a go-between from the PC to the VR headset

        Oh, so you have a main router for internet traffic (wifi access for extended router and other devices) and another router extended from it that both your VR headset and PC connect to for VR-type data communication, still providing internet to the PC with about half the bandwidth?

          That’s how I’d set it up, yeah. Most VR games are gonna be local, not needing a ton of internet bandwidth
