Haven't really kept up with router tech, I just replace them every few years when better wifi standards are about. Been skeptical of gaming routers, kind of part assuming that the gaming aspect of it pretty much only relates to the aesthetic. I really like the geofilters in this. It's a good way to have a decent experience in games with crappy online that doesn't allow you to set location (eg Smash Bros). I'm a competitive player and I've completely swerved online because 99% of Switch players use Wifi and the dogshit matchmaking that puts me against people on the other side of the planet. Hopefully this will change once people get the OLED model and make use of the ethernet port. Combine that with geo filtering and online might actually be enjoyable

[@Trainboy1EJR]

So playing Genshin Impact on PS4 is the same wired as it is on Wifi with the TP Link AX11000, although that’s still 4ms slower (32ms wired or wireless) on 250/250 fiber than the free Frontier (Arris) modem/router (28ms wired) on 24/1 DSL and the Linksys AC1000 (28-30ms wired) on 250/250 fiber.

Bad acting with empty boxes. I’m hooked.

[@Gallaelwyd]

My only criticism is the range and strength of the signal isn't really tested, the WiFi is used but right next to the device. I know the manufacturers usually state this somewhere on the box but never explain their test environments. It's all well and good trying to put it in the centre of the house but if theres no room in the centre of the house or it needs to be concealed let's say in the cabinet under the TV then you've got the cabinet, the TVs metal components refracting signal, the ceiling, maybe some heating pipes under the floor to refract more signal before the signal actually reaches your PC. I know there are extenders and meshes you can buy but ideally I don't want to be strategically placing/plugging in things around the house. Maybe some others are in a similar situation?

[@mavhunter4053]

Wifi is environment dependent. Even your wall thickness affects and degrades your signal. For the best consistence and results, always try to connect directly to your console via an ethernet cable to the router. If not possible, try to have the best line of sight to your router if going wireless. I've tried several wifi routers but the truth is that nothing compares to a wired connection.

The congestion control should be set to auto so that it only caps throughput when you are actually gaming. While their instructions don't detail it fully, the goal is you do ping tests and lower the speeds until your ping times stop having large increases. Then it should be set to auto so that you get your full speed at all times except when you are gaming. Beyond that, you set up the QOS separately where for traffic that is not very ping sensitive, it will allow full use of all available throughput, but will allow you to prioritize certain traffic, e.g., giving youtube and other streaming services a higher priority.

[@OnizukaGTO]

@@ehsan3954 I assume you are wireless on 2.4Ghz band. 5Ghz will give you much higher speeds, but it's bad at range. you can try getting a powered single router like Asus RT-AX88U. just anything with 4x4 antennas. It's overkill specs and you probably don't have wifi 6 clients (only brand new laptop/phones have it at the moment) but it'll still be better the BT shit-hub range and speed. Generally ceilings/floors are easier then walls, but only when it's straight up, if you put some walls in between then it'll still be tough. If you want solid speed/connections, its cables. but for wireless its MESH using wifi 6 (160Mhz for the best) as a dedicated transfer backhaul channel cos no one is connected to it. For out-of-the-box, Asus zenwifi AX. you will get close to 900Mbps transfer under 14m to satellite nodes. If you're on budget, get the AC version, has two 5Ghz channel, even lower price range? Zenwifi AX mini, only single 2x2 wifi 6/5Ghz shared, but for it's price its alright. Nighthawk Mk62 is an alternative, solid range but mesh speed is capped at 100mbps. If mesh isn't an option and you ereally want one router? You can gamble on the older RT-AC88U or mid-tier RT-AX3000, at least it has 4x4 antennas and new cpu/chipset. Im biased towards Asus cos the web control is ace and much more reliable than TP/cisco/netgear, but get whatever is your thing. cheers.

[@wolfshanze5980]

To clarify most "gaming routers" are wifi/multiple ethernet port hubs... you will need a separate box for your internet connection... either a cable modem (Cox/Spectrum, etc) or "ONT" box for fiber optic internet (like AT&T)... simply put... Wall-line to Modem/ONT, ethernet line from the modem to your gaming router/wifi hub (computers/devices connect to the router/wifi hub). Your modem is the gateway to the internet, the fastest router is still going to be limited to whatever your modem/ISP provides. Remember how this all gets to your devices: INTERNET >>> Modem/ISP >>> Router/Wifi >>> Your Computer/Device If you have super fast Modem/ISP but a crappy router/wifi, you'll get crap access to the internet If you have super fast router/wifi but a very slow modem/ISP service, you'll get crap access to the internet If you have super fast modem/ISP and a super fast router/wifi, you'll get great access to the internet Examples: You have a fast cable modem provider that gives you 1 Gbps download, a great modem, but a really ancient low quality WiFi-4 router... bad experience on your computer. You have a super slow DSL provider that gives you 24 Mbps download or cheaped out and got the slowest cable download speed, a great modem and a great WiFi-6 router... bad experience on your computer, so if you cheap out on that, having a great router won't save you.

[@MATTW3R]

@@wolfshanze5980 but what modem is recommended for gamers?

[@wolfshanze5980]

@@MATTW3R I'm not sure there's such a thing as a "gaming modem" since the features that prioritize or optimized for gaming are going to come from your router and/or WiFi... if you have multiple devices you want multiple streams and/or fast streams and/or things that can prioritize gaming signals over non-gaming ones... those are all features of a router/wifi device. Your modem only really does one thing... provide the internet signal to the router/wifi device which then figures out the rest. The only thing I can really say about your modem, is that it should be "quality" and it should be equal-to or faster-than handling the speed your ISP is providing (a 500 Mbps modem isn't good for a 1 Gbps plan)... so really, just get a quality modem that's equal or faster to the speed of your plan, you'll be fine... the router/wifi device is where you pay closest attention for gaming. For me, i have a Motorola MB8611 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem with 2.5G Ethernet... note the 2.5 Gbps capability is future proofing, my ISP only provides 1 Gbps currently. Also remember cable modems are for cable ISP... if you have a fiber optic line, like from AT&T, they don't use cable modems, you'd need a completely different device for your gateway.

I have spectrum lightning 400 with their router provided its that tower router and i got anywhere from 350-430mbps and averaged 60-70ping on xbox servers. I ordered up the cheapest nighthawk which is the rax20 and some cat8 ethernet cables most importantly to replace the one from the modem to router. So keeping the spectrum router and changing from cat5e to cat 8 alone made my internet stable. What i mean by stable is that before when i did speed tests the speed would go up and down when testing and now its rock solid a steady number. I got the router swapped out and i was able to hit 673mbps consecutively on testing after changing router settings to my liking. Pretty crazy i can get so much extra bandwidth than what i pay for oh and i dropped my ping to low 30s!

But what if I wanna use the router for just me

[@yoltsbp]

@@AllHailDrego then you can use the router for just you. I didnt say anything about not being able to do anything you want with your router.

[@revatronprime4120]

Thanks for your comment it gave me idea

[@Amexc]

In my area I have a limited choice of ISP and my connection is not the best but it works. I get 23down, 6up and a ping of about 30. I have massive ping spikes and constantly get kicked from games even if my phone just connects to WiFi. Is there something like this available for me perhaps maybe slightly cheaper?

[@jw8089]

Netgear nighthawk xr300 same features but lower price and it has more than enough mb for your connection

[@acidrazor]

so can you setup nordvpn on the router itself so you dont have to fuck around with a pc to do vpn for the entire network?

So does the router boost the performance if you paying cheap wifi?

If you can’t run those 3 things at once without WiFi problems . You need a new wifi plan

[@mikepearson6659]

Would I need to buy a modem to use this router? Or does it have one built in?

[@Minpeace]

You would need a modem unless you have an ONT.

[@wolfshanze5980]

To clarify most "gaming routers" are wifi/multiple ethernet port hubs... you will need a separate box for your internet connection... either a cable modem (Cox/Spectrum, etc) or "ONT" box for fiber optic internet (like AT&T)... simply put... Wall-line to Modem/ONT, ethernet line from the modem to your gaming router/wifi hub (computers/devices connect to the router/wifi hub).

[@Sleepysleepyz]

Had the asus rog rapture gt-ax11000 for a while now, went from 80 ping to 20 ping. Short answer: it does help a bit but is it worth the money? Idk. Haven’t had any other cheap alternatives to see a difference, just went straight for the $400 option.

[@P1NCH3_MAR1JAN0]

Yes you still need a ISP and no i dont think routers provide wifi

[@tarnishedanachronism4914]

You still need a modem, which will allow you to access the Internet, and the router will connect the devices to the internet from the at modem.
