Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unfortunately I've waited so long to install that I can't get it back.

I bought this to use Connectify and create a local hotspot to run my Quest 2 wireless. It should have worked much better in hardware than running it through my router. Unfortunately this was not the case. While Asus' Wi-Fi card seems to work just fine, this particular Wi-Fi card seems to chug on. I mean when I connect to my PC through a router I get 72-90 fps. When I connect directly to this Wi-Fi card, I pull out 50 with quite a bit of stuttering. My router is a TP-Link with Wi-Fi 6. One of the cheapest Wi-Fi 6 routers available, and while it goes through an extra step in the process that should be a bottleneck in the transition, it's actually faster. This is incredibly disappointing. And no connection to a Wi-Fi access point lets Quest - PC - Router - PC - Quest pass through. Because the running application is only registered once on the Internet, the rest of the data lies between the PC and Quest. The card simply does not send to the specified numbers. Now it works fine as a wireless card. My internet is only 300Mbps and the speed is 280Mbps, which I think is normal for a wireless network. But the fact that it can barely manage 50Mbps with Quest as a credit connection, while my router can feed it 180 when other devices are pulling it, is a little shocking. Don't make my mistake don't buy this wifi card for hotspot. create or connect wirelessly to your Quest 2, no matter how good the stats are. It can't handle it and you'll get a worse gaming experience than when connected to a router. Now I need to figure out how to get rid of these two cards as they are useless in my setup.
