Has anyone set up a standalone router to be directly connected to your PC for wireless VR play? My desktop is wireless and usually wireless VR is ok, but has some issues. It seems a router directly connected used only for the headset would help.

Getting a whole router for that seems kind of excessive and may not do what you want it to do because I reckon most computers will likely shit their pants when connected to two routers. I may be wrong there, but it seems... well... like it's not gonna work.
You may be better served investigating getting some sort of additional WiFi device for your PC and turning it into an AP which your VR headset connects to.
But honestly, that sounds like a lot of bother too.
The best solution is usually the most simple. You should be backhauling as many devices as you can over Ethernet and avoid using WiFi unless it's a portable device. Powerline adapters can help with this as they're much better than they used to be, and would ensure your computer has a stable connection to your router that is, more importantly, not sharing a signal with your VR headset.
I do a lot of in-home streaming (not to VR headsets admittedly) and the ideal setup for me is a combination of Ethernet switches and powerline adapters to get my whole home wired up, with a mesh WiFi node in each room using Ethernet/powerline backhaul so latency is low and the connection is stable.
I can basically run a game in 4K on my PC in the living room and stream it to my office (on the other side of the flat) without lag and at excellent image quality.
