Router for gaming on Ethernet connection
The router choice hinges on several factors. First, your internet speed plan matters. Many routers support Gigabit WAN, but most struggle with high-speed internet because their processors aren’t powerful enough. For ultra-fast connections, you should check the specifications closely, especially LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN throughputs. The second consideration is the WiFi standard. You might find a great WiFi 5 device at a lower cost than a WiFi 6 model. Don’t forget that WiFi 6e is on the horizon, adding another 6 GHz and potentially boosting performance. The third aspect is the features you need. As noted earlier, QoS is helpful when your connection is weak. One useful feature my router offers is tracking data usage per device, which is especially valuable given the 1.2 TB limit imposed by Comcast.
