Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? in PC gaming Tech http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20938435 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:34:03 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:34:03 EDT Re: Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21393314 SoJo : Try looking at the router forums and see which routers that don't have a lot of topics opened up about them.

I have the Dlink 634m that's been rock solid for over two years.

I DO NOT recomend the the DI-524 for gaming, or any router except the DI-704 in the DI series for gaming. Not only because my server doesn't work with it, I did see on a website the DI-524 is low horespower and is usuitible for gaming.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21284141 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:16:25 EDT Re: Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21211639 gmlasam : The Dlink DIR655 seems to be very good for online gaming. I personally have one and was quite impressed by its steady latency, almost playing straight through the router. I have it setup as a dedicated N router only, and have my Linksys WRT54GS with DD-WRT as the 54G connection. I'm connected at a steady 300mbp with the DIR655.

Flash it with Tomato firmware and set your QoS. Tomato has some of the best QoS firmware out there.

I didn't buy it because I'm uneducated but rather because it matches my system. It's slim, has blue LED's that match my case LED's/fan LED's and of course it's black.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078565 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:41:03 EDT Re: Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078331 JIGA :

My own router is not a gaming router at all, but my friend Tommy got a D-Link DGL-4500, seems pretty cool.
There's not really "Gaming Routers", they are just designated that way to entice the uneducated.

Any router with packet scheduling will do the exact same thing a router designated "gaming router" will do. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078331 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:04:03 EDT Re: Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21074557 47258140 : My own router is not a gaming router at all, but my friend Tommy got a D-Link DGL-4500, seems pretty cool.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21074557 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:38:55 EDT Re: Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21066854 longstreet : Any commericial router sold in stores today offers packet scheduling benefits the 'gaming' routers have.

I have a WRT300N - works great.

I would heavily scrutinize 'gaming router' purchases, as most of the off the shelf models have the same ability.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21066854 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 04:22:43 EDT Re: Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20945395 Ender3rd : I have had very good luck with my D-Link DGL-4300 wireless router. Setup was a snap and it has performed perfectly across wired and wireless connections. The gamefuel traffic shaping mode actually works fine and can be configured to give priority to gaming over other tasks on the LAN to ensure steady pings in spite of other activity. Port forwarding works perfectly and with many games it is as simple as selecting the games you wish to use from a dropdown list in the router setup. As with most routers, having static addresses on your LAN will simplify port forwarding. I installed mine back in the summer of 2005 and have not touched it since, it just keeps running.

There is not one that is the "best" really.

I use and can recommend the Linksys BEFSR81, 8 port wired router. Works very well. The BEFSR41 is the same, only 4 port.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20938610 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:33:46 EDT Best wired (or wireless) gaming router? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20938435 radweg : I read a thread on this from early this year which was very useful, but it's later now, so thought I'd get some fresh advice. May be new models in the mix now. I'm brand new at using internet with my PC, and hunting for the best wired router I can get, without insane expense. Have good cable service. I hope not to have to mess with complicated port issues and such, since I'm hopelessly lost with that stuff.
