ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 - General Questions regarding Game network, and how to optimize

[LowLatency]

Router: ROG Rapture GT-BE19000
Connection: Ethernet
Internet Speeds: 1.4g down, 100mb up.

Setup: VirginHub5 in modem mode, connected to be19000, ethernet cable (15m) to Gaming PC.

Questions:

1. I have set up the router, however im confused regarding things related to gaming. I see there is a gaming network i can make, which i have done. however, i cant seem to get my PC to connect specifically to the gaming network. the gaming network is usually 192.168.52.x for example. but my pc is always assign to 192.168.50.x (main network) no matter what i do. am i using the gaming network incorrectly? do i need additional software to transfer myself over to the gaming network manually? pc is connected via ethernet.

2. Is there any point in my even using the gaming network, if im the only person myself using the internet, devices being my Gaming PC and occasionally my iphone?

3. Is there any specific settings i should change on this router, to lower latency / force it into a gaming state that can benefit me on competitive FPS games?

4. Gaming Accelerator, QoS, GameFirst VI, GameBoost etc - Is any of this beneficial? I've done speed test with it all enabled, and my ping appears to have lowed by 3-5ms. But i see a lot of conflicting information online regarding using these, im new to all of this and some of the information is overwhelming.

Outcome i would like: to have my computer and network optimized so for the best online gaming experience.

Thank you to anyone who can help further my understanding of the above questions, i apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section, im new here and trying to learn everything. t

There was no point buying this expensive "gaming" router in first place. There is no gaming networking, there is gaming marketing and it hit your wallet good. All the gaming options above are basically different QoS settings, something perhaps you don't need anyway for two client devices and Gigabit ISP. Your ISP provided gateway, your PC wired to it, your iPhone on whatever Wi-Fi the gateway offers - all you need.

so when you create the "gaming network" what actually is happening then, and how do you connect to it, if its just marketing. And is there ant specific settings i should enable to have the best gaming experience? I'm not arguing its an overpriced router, because it is. but i was fortunate to get this as a gift from my wife, who got it discounted due to her position in her work. im just trying to better understand what i have, that's all. thanks for your reply.
