Is a Gaming Router Actually Worth It? 

Not me

@@AlexisReyes-vw1cp LMAO

wait so i have a modem and i have a ethernet cable connected from my modem to my console but I get about 40 ping so if i get a router and connect wirelessly to my internet then with a ethernet cable to my console will i get better ping?

For some reason I can't make my own comment right now, but i just wanna say this was really informative i was scrolling looking for something else and decided to click on your video, you explained some things i was wondering and it really helped! I'm interested in your other content so I'm gonna subscribe! Hope you're having a blessed day!💪🏼🙏🏼🌹

Yes

Plug an ethernet cable from your Modem to this router. This router will then take care of Wi-Fi after you have fully configured it.

13!? DANG

Do u have to pay for it monthly like xfinity you have to pay monthly for WiFi ?

@@21forever68 no you don't have to pay for it

Just plug it into ps5 nothing else??

Lmao true

What router do you recommend? I was considering this one

@@RBK_3 always been a fan of the netgear routers, this one just seemed harder to fine tune.

@@RBK_3 if you're not into messing with port forwarding and all the other settings then it shouldn't be a hassle for you.

ye it is

Different channel, but same guy. MarzBar Vlogs.

There is a Nighthawk App you can use for the setup.

@@knalltfix that for the full setup? Because he did use the app and then went onto laptop to tweak it

😂😂😂😂😂

:O

So playing Genshin Impact on PS4 is the same wired as it is on Wifi with the TP Link AX11000, although that’s still 4ms slower (32ms wired or wireless) on 250/250 fiber than the free Frontier (Arris) modem/router (28ms wired) on 24/1 DSL and the Linksys AC1000 (28-30ms wired) on 250/250 fiber. I guess it is like using a Star Destroyer to make a milk run, should have gone with a Millennium Falcon. XD

hey! do you know much about getting better ping? i was thinking of buying a new router but idk will it make my ping go lower even if we pay for the same monthly thing (200mbit).. my friends tells me itll help with my ping but when i did a bit of researching it says it wont help. BUT the thing is, theyre always talking abt wireless wifi, but im looking for answers of ethernet! if i buy a new router and use an ethernet cable, will my ping/connection be faster or will it stay the same? is 200mbit good enough or do we have to start paying for a better one, like 400mbit? sorry im a bit bad at explaining since english isnt my 1st language. haha

True. I use a Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4. It works better than any "gaming" router.

only with Asus routers. All Asus routers with AIMESH features can make any compatible router into a satellite unit, pretty cool when you use wifi 6 routers, cos it use one of the wifi 6 bands just for data (backhaul) since most gaming are tri-band, (2.4ghz/5ghz/5ghz) so its blazing fast.

@@OnizukaGTO I’ll have a look into them. Thanks for the info!

@@OnizukaGTO hey man, you seem like you know what you're talking about. Question for you - I live in a house of 5 people, each of us are hogging the bandwidth all day, generally through streaming. My speeds are pretty slow, probably because I'm 2 floors away from the router (BT Smart Hub). Can you recommend a very good router to improve range/speed/bandwidth issues?

@@ehsan3954 I assume you are wireless on 2.4Ghz band. 5Ghz will give you much higher speeds, but it's bad at range. you can try getting a powered single router like Asus RT-AX88U. just anything with 4x4 antennas. It's overkill specs and you probably don't have wifi 6 clients (only brand new laptop/phones have it at the moment) but it'll still be better the BT shit-hub range and speed. Generally ceilings/floors are easier then walls, but only when it's straight up, if you put some walls in between then it'll still be tough. If you want solid speed/connections, its cables. but for wireless its MESH using wifi 6 (160Mhz for the best) as a dedicated transfer backhaul channel cos no one is connected to it. For out-of-the-box, Asus zenwifi AX. you will get close to 900Mbps transfer under 14m to satellite nodes. If you're on budget, get the AC version, has two 5Ghz channel, even lower price range? Zenwifi AX mini, only single 2x2 wifi 6/5Ghz shared, but for it's price its alright. Nighthawk Mk62 is an alternative, solid range but mesh speed is capped at 100mbps. If mesh isn't an option and you ereally want one router? You can gamble on the older RT-AC88U or mid-tier RT-AX3000, at least it has 4x4 antennas and new cpu/chipset. Im biased towards Asus cos the web control is ace and much more reliable than TP/cisco/netgear, but get whatever is your thing. cheers.

@@OnizukaGTO I have dog doodoo connection because 4 people are using the router. If I get another router just for me, and I use an ethernet cable instead of an adapter, that would work right? If so, any router recommendations? ($50-110 budget)

But what if I wanna use the router for just me

@@AllHailDrego then you can use the router for just you. I didnt say anything about not being able to do anything you want with your router.

Thanks for your comment it gave me idea

That’s what I was wondering and who do you pay to keep it on

You don’t pay monthly but they’re pretty expressive

@@heartless4847 how do you pay then?

That's what I'm wondering... I have a cheap dual band router, will probably get a tri band. Can those work together I wonder.

If you mean console then yes you use the geofilter if the game is supported.

They snap back into place

Depends on what brand you buy on an asus router you can use the app

If by computer you mean desktop or laptop, then no, you do not need those. Most routers software is accessed by browser. You can use a browser on a smart phone or even a gaming console to access it. Some routers (mostly older routers) require a wired ethernet connection for initial setup however.

Netgear nighthawk xr300 same features but lower price and it has more than enough mb for your connection

If you can’t run those 3 things at once without WiFi problems . You need a new wifi plan

what did you mean gaming internet

@@lahey1096 the thing he has in his video

Your internet is all through your Internet Service Provider which gives you the internet the gaming router just gives gaming devices for if the internet then someone downloading a video

@@lahey1096 ah right so pointless in getting one was trying to search for something that would give me more download speed

@@shaggyraggy7716 just upgrade your internet speed or get a whole new service provider

Yeah, it would still work well.

@@RikiGuitarist ty chief!

Jon Bellion is AWESOME

Your internet provider should give you a router

@@yeaaa1412 You mean a router? Tf is a rooter? 😂😂

@@monadejaneiro Haha it's a joke😂😂🥲😐😑.....🦆

You will never get free wifi from an ip.

The good in me- Jon bellion

Your “lag” and “packet loss” will be a latency issue. You can have good download and upload speeds and still have bad latency. If your with Virgin Media by any chance. Chances are it’s a “utilisation” issue. Where they quickly rush and build “new super fast fibre broadband” for an area, but do it poorly. Resulting in both you and anyone in your area (also using VM) will be using up all the “bandwidth” available. Meaning the only way for the issue to be solved is for Virgin Media to install brand new cables and a whole new setup for your whole area…. Meaning it’ll either never be done or will be a long time until. My knowledge is very limited but I’m experiencing this exact issue myself currently and after some hours of research this seems to be a common factor.

dude I have 40 Mbps on good days and 20 on bad days. I don't have a gaming router bc idk how to plug it etc

@@Coppercrack Underrated comment. Ya man speaking facts!!

Netgear is great. Mine I can literally walk across the street at my neighbor's and get great speeds. Around 70mbps. No joke

Pog

@@juanchu-saligan1148 yes Very much pog

Wow what a pog. Get yourself a asus rog rapture GT- AX11000

ye me too

Yes

The internet provider gives you the internet connection to your house and then to your router. the router then gives your devices the wifi/internet wirelessly. so yea its seperate. and where to look for internet providers? it depends on where you live. you should search on the internet for internet providers

@@Primez8902 some internet providers like astound provide you with one ✅

Yes that’s how it works

Well thats just shxte

roo tuh :)

Not all of us want to run cables all across the house

@@rickjames7923 you can run them underground through crawl space

@@cadenarvin5357 not comfortable with drilling holes in the house flooring, or the ceiling in my case. I have no clue how to do it, seems scary lol. Do you have any links I can follow to read more in it.

@@rickjames7923 I would just ask my cable company to come and do it.

@zeeshan Coorbanally which powerline adapter do you use?

this is what im trying to find out

To clarify most "gaming routers" are wifi/multiple ethernet port hubs... you will need a separate box for your internet connection... either a cable modem (Cox/Spectrum, etc) or "ONT" box for fiber optic internet (like AT&T)... simply put... Wall-line to Modem/ONT, ethernet line from the modem to your gaming router/wifi hub (computers/devices connect to the router/wifi hub). Your modem is the gateway to the internet, the fastest router is still going to be limited to whatever your modem/ISP provides. Remember how this all gets to your devices: INTERNET >>> Modem/ISP >>> Router/Wifi >>> Your Computer/Device If you have super fast Modem/ISP but a crappy router/wifi, you'll get crap access to the internet If you have super fast router/wifi but a very slow modem/ISP service, you'll get crap access to the internet If you have super fast modem/ISP and a super fast router/wifi, you'll get great access to the internet Examples: You have a fast cable modem provider that gives you 1 Gbps download, a great modem, but a really ancient low quality WiFi-4 router... bad experience on your computer. You have a super slow DSL provider that gives you 24 Mbps download or cheaped out and got the slowest cable download speed, a great modem and a great WiFi-6 router... bad experience on your computer, so if you cheap out on that, having a great router won't save you.

@@wolfshanze5980 but what modem is recommended for gamers?

@@MATTW3R I'm not sure there's such a thing as a "gaming modem" since the features that prioritize or optimized for gaming are going to come from your router and/or WiFi... if you have multiple devices you want multiple streams and/or fast streams and/or things that can prioritize gaming signals over non-gaming ones... those are all features of a router/wifi device. Your modem only really does one thing... provide the internet signal to the router/wifi device which then figures out the rest. The only thing I can really say about your modem, is that it should be "quality" and it should be equal-to or faster-than handling the speed your ISP is providing (a 500 Mbps modem isn't good for a 1 Gbps plan)... so really, just get a quality modem that's equal or faster to the speed of your plan, you'll be fine... the router/wifi device is where you pay closest attention for gaming. For me, i have a Motorola MB8611 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem with 2.5G Ethernet... note the 2.5 Gbps capability is future proofing, my ISP only provides 1 Gbps currently. Also remember cable modems are for cable ISP... if you have a fiber optic line, like from AT&T, they don't use cable modems, you'd need a completely different device for your gateway.

Maybe try checking the Ubiquiti website.

You would need a modem unless you have an ONT.

To clarify most "gaming routers" are wifi/multiple ethernet port hubs... you will need a separate box for your internet connection... either a cable modem (Cox/Spectrum, etc) or "ONT" box for fiber optic internet (like AT&T)... simply put...

@@base64d thanks for answering. I did think that was the case. So there is no way of replacing the super hub out right

@@AxelMann it does replace it mate you just run an Ethernet from the VM router to this and this will act as your new router

@@soakerhvh don’t disrespect my girl pieck like that

@@hypecacw I meant in Titan form

Did you find anything?

@@dimzy3040 yea some router call eero

What you may want to consider is a router with Wi-Fi that is 5 giga hertz (that is if yours is 2.4 giga hertz).

I am just useing a route I get with my wifi never used one there’s haveing routers befor I do wonder if worth the upgrade?

If it is about gaming you should probably check your graphics card first since gaming routers are expensive. For the highest performance graphics cards for gaming i recommend you check GeForce Rtx, GeForce Gtx and AMD Radeon graphics cards. If latency and ping is a problem then you should think about buying a router. 👍

Its hard to say without details. How is your device connected? Is it wifi or wired? If wifi, how far away is your device from the router? Run a speed test on a wired device and compare that with the speeds you should be getting.

​@@JJFlores197 This, also check to see that he's not paying for onyl 50mb download speeds🤣

Nah

I was looking for this also lmao I have no clue man and there is one person saying yeah and one saying no so idk what to believe

If you pay the full price for router no. Since it is expensive you can pay it in smaller payments until you are done. After that the router is yours no monthly payments, other than paying your internet bill every month to keep it running

Wifi is environment dependent. Even your wall thickness affects and degrades your signal. For the best consistence and results, always try to connect directly to your console via an ethernet cable to the router. If not possible, try to have the best line of sight to your router if going wireless. I've tried several wifi routers but the truth is that nothing compares to a wired connection.
