Archer AX50 - Jerky transfers in AP mode
I had an AX50 router, and bought another one dedicated for Virtual Reality. I have only my VR headset and my game computer connected to the dedicated router, nothing else. However, the network transfers seem "jerky" even when playing games that need much less traffic than the router is capable of (for instance Beat Saber). I don't know whether I have something set incorrectly, or whether this router is incapable of good VR support (though it is recommended by many for VR purpose).
VR headset needs internet connection, and the game computer - when playing - too. I had two possibilities how to setup the "VR" AX50 - either configure it in router mode and connect it to internet through the main router (by wire), or configure it in AP mode connected to the main router (again by wire). I chose the second option. However, I'm not sure, how exactly the AP mode works. Even when both the VR headset and the game computer are connected to the same AP, do they communicate directly through the AP, or does all (or some) of the communication go forth and back through the main router? This could explain the "jerks".
Further info:
When I connect the game computer to the VR headset directly via USB-C wire, there are no jerks.
I had no experience with APs, so I was surprised that almost nothing can be set at AX50 in this mode, security in particular. Nevertheless, I have verified that the wi-fi access lists set at the main router are respected by the AP too. Which is good. However, devices connected to the main router do not see devices connected to the AP. Is this correct behaviour of the AP?
