How important is Router RAM and CPU to VR wireless streaming?

[Tausendberg]

I have an Asus RT-AX86S which has 512 mb of ram and a dual core cpu. For a bit more money I could return it and get an Asus RT-AX86U which has a quad core cpu and 1 gb of ram. Does it make sense for me to do so for wireless VR streaming?

@Tausendberg - Adding more ram and CPU will generally increase responsiveness for anything traffic that touches the router.

86U:

• Has a newer "Multi-Gig" 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN port which could be helpful if you can actually leverage speeds faster than 1Gbps.
  • This port enables it to work with Asus' AiMesh mesh networking.
• The extra ram and CPU allow it to support support more more "mu-mimo" users (high speed connections to devices).

84S:

• Same radios
• Has gigabyte LAN

Both are great routers that have the same radios. 86U is more future proof but you'll probably have a reasonable experience on both.
