    Need advice: In-home wifi gaming streaming

    Thanks for the awesome feedback guys. I will check on the QoS angle. I didn't think to go this route since the games basically streamed locally and I'm not doing multi-player or anything. But I will see if can force the Zyxel router to prioritize Steam over other apps, etc. I will also...

    Need advice: In-home wifi gaming streaming

    Would the Asus RT-N66U do the trick? What about getting something weaker but dedicated solely to streaming games, while the Zyxel is busy handling everything else?

    Need advice: In-home wifi gaming streaming

    I have CenturyLink and am forced to use the Zyxel q1000z modem/router. In truth, this router has worked fine for me over the past year. On a typical evening, I have my desktop hooked up via ethernet and two smartphones, two iPads, and a laptop connecting via WiFi. I'm an avid gamer and have...

    Point of Powerful Wireless Routers?

    I may sound like a noob, but this question has been bothering me for a while now. My question is primarily related to throughput. What's the point of routers with 100+ Mbps etc. on either band when the ISP gives typically much less? For instance, I just signed up for Centurylink here in Phoenix...

    Best N600/N750 router?

    I think that the Asus RT-N56U is the best bang for buck from Asus at this point, at least for my current needs. I was just curious if Linskys or Netgear didn't have anything more compelling for those same specs. Otherwise, RT-N56U it is!

    Best N600/N750 router?

    Understood. So would you go with the Asus RT-n56u in my case then?

    Best N600/N750 router?

    Honestly I didn't even consider the RT-n56u since in the review of the RT-N66u it said about the rt-56u that it is "a single-band N Gigabit router with a few USB ports." I'd like a simultaneous dual band two stream.

    Best N600/N750 router?

    Hey guys, I'm due for a router upgrade. Currently running the Uverse 2wire 3800hgv G router-hate it... I had a previous post where I was thinking of getting a top-notch N router; the the recommendations I received were for the Amped Wireless r2000g and Apple Airport Extreme. Those are good...

    Best dual-stream simultaneous dual-band N600/N750 router?

    Hey guys, I'm due for a router upgrade. Currently running the Uverse 2wire 3800hgv G router-hate it... I had a previous post and someone recommended I get the Amped Wireless r20000g. That's a good router, but I'm starting to think that spending that much money on a last-gen router (right...

    Need New Router

    Perhaps someone can recommend a good budget and mid-price pick also? Just so that I can narrow this choice down to a few good options. I'm not convinced that the main thing missing from my scenario is a router with kick-butt range. I mean, I live in a small 1-story ranch house with a basement...

    Need New Router

    Would you take it over the Netgear N900? Laptopmag said the Netgear was a bit faster.

    Need New Router

    Hey guys, I've already read quite a few articles on SNB's site and am so much more knowledgeable about wireless technology than before I read them. However, before I spend my hard-earned money on a new router, I feel that it would be wise to ask for community feedback. To be honest, it's...
