If your remote device remains "fairly close" (10' or less) to the scanner, you might consider using "Access Point Mode" rather than "Infrastructure Mode".

In Access Point, the connection is scanner to remote device.

In Infrastructure, the connection is scanner to router then to remote device.

Using Access Point removes the "middle-man" router.

I use a "de-commissioned" iPhone in my vehicle as the remote head. It is in a charging cradle to maintain battery charge.

There are still a few hiccups (at least in the iPhone app) where full functionality isn't present. For example toggling Quick Keys via remote device doesn't work.
