Gaming Routers

For a flat or small house a good single router is plenty, while a larger or multi-floor home benefits from a mesh system. A gaming router adds features to prioritise game traffic for steady latency.

Provider routers are often basic, so a better standalone router can improve range, speed and stability. You usually keep the ISP box in modem mode or connect to it, then let the new router handle the Wi-Fi.

Look for the latest Wi-Fi or, better still, a wired connection, strong gigabit ports, and Quality of Service to prioritise game traffic. Low, steady latency matters more than headline speed.
