I can’t run Ethernet from the room with my PC to my main router across the house. All of my devices in this room are on a 2.4 GHz band to connect to the internet because the 5 GHz band constantly drops connection.
The issue I’m having is that I would like to stream games from my PC to devices in the same room, such as my VR headset. Going through my congested main router on a wireless 2.4 GHz band is infeasible. So can a spare router I have be used to achieve what I need if I connect it (via Ethernet) to my PC and have the devices I want connect wirelessly to this router? Does this spare router have to connect to my main router through the WAN port? I don’t believe I need an internet connection on these devices when I’m streaming games through Steam Link or Moonlight.
If this is possible, would I connect my PC into the LAN or WAN port?
