I have had the Archer GX90 since july 2022. Amazing router until recently it stopped sending out 5g signal. 5 minute chat with customer support and they sending me a new one free. 2 year warranty is awesome.

i have a big family of 7 people 7 phones 3 iPad a gaming pc and a ps5 what do you recommend I have a beget of 500 to 700 aud dollars i always lag on games and it pisses me off so i need a very good wifi router

[@UltimateTechHub]

ASUS GT-BE98 PRO - amzn.to/4eaH0cn ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 - amzn.to/3BfQ94m These 2 routers are fantastic! The BE98 PRO is Wi-Fi7 and the AXE16000 is Wi-Fi6e. You can't go wrong with either one. Good luck and keep me posted. Thank you for watching!

Use cable my friend

[@IsraTheBlack]

Don't get the Netgear XR1000, it doesn't get any support from Netgear even though the Duma OS developers already have updates ready for it but Netgear isn't releasing it. The latest update breaks QoS and other features and it's a very unstable router. It doesn't compare to the XR500. Get the Netduma R3 instead.

[@AmmarYaser-w9i]

So what do i get ineed gaming router less then 170 USD

[@IsraTheBlack]

@@AmmarYaser-w9i ASUS RT-AX86U Pro is the best of the best. It's 200 USD however. But a good alternative that is less expensive is the ASUS AX5700 for 119USD on amazon. These are still getting regular firmware updates as well.

[@christiannewburn5145]

The R3 is absolutely terrible I have both the XR1000 and R3 I bought the R3 hoping that it would do better than the XR1000 and it’s absolutely worse, the XR1000 also sucks and like you said it’s just not stable at all I’m honestly done with NETGEAR I’m going to switch to asus because I’ve had the XR500 XR1000 and R3 and none of them have good at all

What do you see best with Starlink?

The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro Tri-Band WiFi6 Gaming Router amzn.to/3I4fsql This is a fantastic router and will work great with Starlink. Good luck and keep me posted.

[@d4g454]

I have google fiber 5g what’s the best modem to bridge with the two best ones the BE 98 an the 11000 tp link I don’t trust google equipment 😩or what about the nighthawk rs700🤔

[@UltimateTechHub]

You need a Fiber ONT to connect the 5G fiber to then from the ONT you connect an ethernet cable to your WAN port on the router. I can't recommend any fiber ONTs because ISPs usually carry these for customers. I wouldn't worry about google ONTs that they provide because it just converts the optical signal into a digital signal. There is no security issue with that. I would definitely go with the BE98 pro for the best Wi-Fi and best wired connections. ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 PRO First Quad-Band WiFi 7 Gaming Router amzn.to/3MZq7F9 Good luck and keep me posted.

[@salehalotaibi2087]

Hey i would like your help please, which router would you recommend for a single gaming player. So it’s only me that will be using it! I want something that’s provide best ping on the game (Pubg mobile) please let me know! Thank you.

[@UltimateTechHub]

I would recommend the TP-Link GX90 - amzn.to/3Xg13jP The price is very affordable and you should get a low ping. Remember ping is also determined by your ISP, network congestion, physical cables, distance, bandwidth and yes your networking hardware. Good luck and keep me posted.

[@glub2251]

I have a 3 floor house with a few smart TVs a PS5 and two gaming PCs. The ASUS GT6 looks like its meant for these kind of homes but what would be your opinion on it?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes I agree for a 3 floor home the ASUS ROG Rapture GT6 AX10000 is your best choice! Here is the Amazon Link - amzn.to/45ehUWc Good luck and keep me posted! Thank you for watching!

[@KamiKen1.]

I have a few questions i have a pretty big family and I need good internet I have the 10-dollar plan for Xfinity it sucks and we have one ps5 a gaming PC 5 smart TVs 5 phones a few cameras what gaming router do you recommend for the whole house and ethernet cable for my gaming PC? I'm also on a budget and I download games at 5 mbs it drops to 4 sometimes when I do the speed test it says its 50 mbps.

[@UltimateTechHub]

The Netgear XR1000 is $179 so that would work for your needs and your ISP speeds. The only other way to improve your gaming experience is to upgrade your ISP plan to something a bit faster. By the way 10 dollars is super cheap for internet. I pay 75 dollars for 940mbps.

[@KamiKen1.]

@@UltimateTechHub yeah i know im gonna upgrade it and buy the router thank you!

[@NuMBERNYC]

@@UltimateTechHub Wow $75 for 940mbps? Who is your ISP? I pay $75 for 500mbps with BlueRidge Cable (They suck)

[@jhtongamer3151]

What one would you recommend for fibre optic to the promise ?

[@UltimateTechHub]

The ASUS GT-BE98 PRO - amzn.to/4eaH0cn This is made for high-speed internet like fiber optics! It's definitely the future of gaming routers! Good luck and keep me posted!

[@jhtongamer3151]

I have the xr1000 should I upgrade I do use ethernet cable straight to my pc cat 8

[@TheDoctor46vr]

What would be better for gaming traditional or adaptive QoS? I live in a share house with multiple devices connected and im tossing up between the AX57 and the AX58U. We have 50/20 bandwidth and ill be using ethernet.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Adaptive QoS would be your best choice. And ethernet is your best bet! Keep me posted on which router you choose! Thanks for watching!

[@TheDoctor46vr]

@@UltimateTechHub thanks ill try to remember to comment once i have picked

[@TheDoctor46vr]

Full disclosure, to find this answer i have posted on a forum, googled other forums and decided to post the same qestion to multiple KZbin channels due to not getting to the bottom of this. I posted on multiple channels because you know how it is not every comment gets answered. So yourself and Jayce Ooi have answered. He said "As long as there is QoS, you are good. Your ISP routing affects the online gaming most." But then you obviously think adaptive is the way to go. So yeah I'm not sure after receiving contradictory answers.

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@TheDoctor46vr Yes your ISP is your most important aspect of online gaming but the QoS will maximize the connections to the ISP and make the online gaming application the priority over other traffic. It does help but not every time because there so many other factors to consider. Also try port forwarding and use a custom DNS like Cloudflare or OpenDNS. Using a combination of these 3 things should give you the best online gaming experience. Hope this answers your question and have a great day!

[@ReefMimic]

The gaming features are useless. Most the options you have to pay extra for them. Qos makes things worse with my asus gtax11000. $800 for the new router is a joke

[@UltimateTechHub]

QoS worked for my ASUS router and my TP-Link router and improved download and upload by 30-40mbps. ASUS doesn't charge any subscription fees for added features and the gaming features can be hit or miss on some routers. All of this depends on you ISP max speeds and your ISPs reliable connections. Also make sure your DNS is Cloudflare for faster connections. Thanks for watching.

[@naapsuvaimne740]

asus dosent charge anything

[@nihaaster_]

Hi! Which one would you recommend among the TP-Link Archer AX11000 and the ASUS GT-BE98 PRO? I'm searching for the best option but i'm no expert on the subject, thanks!

[@UltimateTechHub]

ASUS GT-BE98 PRO or the TP-Link GE800 are my 2 favorites! Here's a video on the GE800 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZebY62rf5aNmpo

[@Layarion]

hey which of these have built-in ISP monitoring systems? my internet is very spotty and i'm trying to figure out if it's on my end or the ISP's.

[@UltimateTechHub]

I believe Tp-Link has built-in ISP monitoring systems, I know the deco models have them. Hope this helps.

[@nocyofficial]

Hi i have a big family in total 7 people all with devices and i am playing Valorant at a good level i get all the time ping jumps from 40 to 70 and that is not funny. So what router should i buy so that my ping will stay consitent on 40 ping. Thx for any help.

[@UltimateTechHub]

The Archer Ax11000 would be your best bet. It's made for a large family and for serious gaming. Here is the product link. TP-Link Archer AX11000 - amzn.to/45a5QoO Good luck and keep me posted!

[@deaththekid479]

Is the tp link worth it or how much better is it than the netgear nighthawk

[@UltimateTechHub]

I would grab the TP-Link AX11000 for the faster and dedicated gaming Wi-Fi band and the 2.5g WAN port and 8 LAN ports. It also has double the antennas and is a tri-band wi-fi router. The XR1000 is dual band and 4 antennas and no 2.5g WAN port. Only upside to the XR1000 is the cheaper price. Good luck and keep me posted. Thank you for watching.

[@brianjpayne3968]

I have the Asus AX5700 would you recommend the dumar3 or am i fine?

[@UltimateTechHub]

I think your fine. Thanks for watching!

[@sxmplify.m80]

when u buy these do u have to pay something every month?

[@UltimateTechHub]

No, only if you want the extra features but you really don't need them. ASUS routers don't have any extra subscriptions. Thanks for watching. 😀

[@joshuacastle8701]

I have an Asus GT-AX11000. I’ve had it for a few years since new. I pay $110 for 1GBps speed through Spectrum. Sadly, Fiber isn’t available in my area. So this is the fastest ISP I can get. I get on average about 500-800mbps speeds when downloading games on my Xbox Series X, which is hardwired into my Asus Router via a Cat6 Ethernet cable. My issue is my ping. What can I do to get the lowest ping possible for my Xbox? I play First Person Shooters, like Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty, and Fortnite. My Ping is always 40-60ms. I really want it as close to zero as possible. My friend has Fiber and the most basic router setup, that was installed and given to him by Wow! Internet, and he’s always at 20ms or below. Is there any hope at all? Should I spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on another expensive Router and possible look into VPN’s or something? I don’t know how to run a gaming console on a VPN, but will do research if needed. Or is it simply loaded onto my router? Or is there simply no hope and I’m at mercy to what my Internet Service Provider can give me? If money isn’t an issue, other than the fact that I can’t get fiber ran to my house as it’s not available, then what can I do here? I find it super frustrating that I’m willing to pay good money for overkill solutions, but can’t seem to get the service that I desire. Such as the Cat6 cable for example whenever Cat5 is more than sufficient.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Sadly it's most likely your ISP. But you could port forward your Xbox to the game servers to see if that helps. Also, you could do a power cycle for all of your devices and then check the ping. It may help. Good luck and keep me posted.

[@joshuacastle8701]

@@UltimateTechHubI spent my entire day researching and changing one variable at a time to see what works. I purchased ExpressVPN and used VPN Fusion on my ASUS Router, and during one game of Fortnite, I got to 14ms of Ping using the Washington DC Server. But that only happened once. And it was mid-match when I switched to that server, and there were only about 7 players left in battle royale unranked. I played another game and it was still back to 40’s. So sadly, no promise of a consistently good ping. I then went into my Asus Router settings and although I have OPEN NAT already, I found individual settings that open NAT’s for each game down to the exact system you’re playing on. So I found a Fortnite and a R6S one for Xbox Series X and added them. Immediately I noticed about 5-10ms of Ping difference. I then tried to use other settings within ASUS such as “WTFAST” and GameFirst VI, and some other 3rd party apps. None of these were very user friendly and ultimately I gave up on them, or found multiple posts dating years back of how they actually just use your money to do things that you can do yourself. Also, they have a lot of reviews stating that they end up doing more harm than good and can make your network almost incompatible with the games servers you’re trying to play. I then tried setting my DNS to cloudfare and google, respectively, after I heard it can help get lower ping manually. One game with Cloudfare DNS settings gave me a little bit better ping, but ultimately it just made everything the same or worse because my download speed suffered immensely from doing all this. I then found that the Xbox has a newish setting that prioritized gaming, such as QoS in their settings. I toggled this and didn’t notice much difference in my ping. I also have QoS toggled on my router. I also want to mention here I tried manually changing my server location in Fortnite settings, with no noticeable changes. Slowly I began to unwind everything that I did, and decided to just stick with the default settings. The only thing I chose to keep was the open NAT’s I found within the ASUS Router software program. Those seem like a pretty good deal. I’m gaming tonight and I’m hovering around 30-40 ping rather than my usual 40-50’s. I’m throwing in the towel until I move to the bigger city with fiber one day. I hope this helps someone out there who’s trying their damndest to get the most out of their internet!

does a gaming router reduce latency in games FOR WIRED?

[@NaowGaming]

In short yes and you also need to make sure your router offer beamforming

[@Eva_xoxo]

@@NaowGaming what does that mean?

[@NaowGaming]

@@Eva_xoxo sorry just tell me your budget and I will recommend, basically if your wifi speed is 100 every router you get your majesty the Max limit will be 100, but now there comes the range and traffic for example using more devices simultaneously (there wifi gets divived and none of us get better speed..... Get this much Then comes to mu-mimo (this makes sure the devices get perfect speed and better range And beamforming ( this makes sure that each device get equal and fast speed So tell me your budget it's okay I have time so I will search a gaming router for you under the budget

@@NaowGaming under 200. also i care about wired even if wireless is not optimal, latency if i play games

Hey man loved the vid! How can I know what router supports open nat type ?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Open NAT is basically plugging your PS5 directly into your modem. Netgear does have a NAT option to select either secure or open and any router should work if you setup port forwarding correctly. Xbox requires port 3074 only, PlayStation requires ports 3478, 3479 and 3480. Let me know if you want my video link to how to port forward for a PS5.
