Every gamer knows that you are only as good as your connection. If your connection lags then so will your K/D. D-Link has launched a new line of routers with gamers in mind.
Exactly. I've seen it advertised at Gamestop for the same price. I actually think that's pretty evil for the uneducated consumer but I it is Gamestop...
An old PC and a decent wifi card would be the best solution. It would be the equivalent of a business class router. You could do all sorts of crazy stuff with it including adding HDDs and making your own personal cloud.
If you don't have access to an old PC and you still want a name brand router, this is probably your best bet...
I have it setup back at my parents house which is a three story house with concrete walls. Wifi had always been a issue, especially with multiple devices. All of that is not a issue any more with that Asus RT N900.
I discredit any review of a router where the setup wizard is praised, and or the reviewer needed to use it.
As well as no tests of actual routing performance, maximum simultaneous connections, throughput etc. Actually I pretty much wouldn't read a router review from any site but smallnetbuilder.
This router is programmed to use the setup wizard immediately upon logging in. The average consumer is not always experienced in setting up a router and can often find the process of dealing with technology overwhelming. Thus, a setup wizard that is easy to use is an extremely important feature to acknowledge.
As far as tests of actual routing performance- that can vary upon connection types and speeds. The reviewer felt that it would not reflect accurate performance of the connection performance on a wide based scale, considering she is on a 12 Meg service in a rural area and generally only receives 6-8 Meg speeds. This router is intended to be an easy solution to prioritizing various devices and applications. It can be programmed to fit individual needs as well.
We will look into SmallNetBuilder and strive to improve on our reviews in the future. Thank you all for the feedback, it is much appreciated.
Any router with the word "Gaming" in, is usually crap. It's just another way to pull you into buying a normal router.
For $150 you can buy a lot better.
