In theory I could see reasons this could be better if you only ever do PCVR, but that is the exception for me so it'd be annoying to wake up my PC just to get internet for my headset.
I went the route of buying a dedicated wifi 6 router for my laptop to run Air Link but that ended up a little complicated because of the internet connection issue (i have to play ethernet port roulette to start games). This USB router seems like it would avoid that

I would also doubt the connection quality across rooms. I got a cheapo wifi 6 router with a quad array of four antennas that stick out of it for $40-ish bucks and wall mounted it, and I can do airlink/steam link/ wireless virtual desktop in every room directly around this one even without line of sight just fine, no extra latency. I don't think the antenna in this would hold up as well.
one thing to always keep in mind with budget wireless devices is you're basically connecting a great point of attack to your network though. firmware updates aren't always available on day zero or ever at all.

Edit: wrong router, my bad.
