I don’t think you’re quite getting it. The issue here is not the fact that your VR headset works better over 6E on your new device that’s closer. The issue is that you’re insistent that you need that new device to ROUTE traffic. Turn off all typical router functions, (no DNS, no DHCP, don’t use the WAN port, put it in bridge mode if able, etc.) and only use it as a switch/AP.
The problem isn’t the need for better connectivity, the problem is the fact that the way you have achieved better connectivity causes other issues. And then you double down and insist that you have it set up correctly, when clearly you do not.
