Bought for the PS4 only to be told the Killer lower ping is not supported
Linksys WRT32X Gaming Router review
Gaming and Wi-Fi don't traditionally go hand in hand. Latency, lower pings, the possibility of signal drops, interference, your roommate clogging the thing with 4K streams of goodness knows what – these things are not what FPS fiends look for when they're in the high-paced world of online gaming.- Great Wi-Fi speed and spread
- Excellent for gamers
- in theory
- Revised firmware interface
- So
- so expensive
- Gaming features of limited use
It has gotten so bad that I revert to an older router
I have been a massive fan of Linksys in the past, but this latest version is nothing but a headache. They recently pushed out a firmware update that has caused connection issues for many people including myself. Devices will disconnect after just a few minutes. Some won't even connect at all.
Linksys WRT 32X Review: Router Makes Gaming a Priority
With the classic good looks of Linksys' WRT networking gear, the WRT 32X gaming router combines a low latency design and a way to prioritize your home's Wi-Fi throughput, but lags on overall performance. At $299 it lacks the latest security, although it should appeal to heavy-duty gamers.- Low latency design
- Killer Prioritization Engine
- Excellent interface
- Expensive
- Lags other routers on speed

Linksys WRT32X MU-MIMO Gigabit Gaming Router
Is a router really going to make your champion in League of Legends kick more butt? Probably not, but the Linksys WRT32X does give you an edge over gamers whose routers often lag behind due to their network traffic.- Gamers will love how it stabilizes in-game ping
- The speeds aren't great and the menu isn't the most user-friendly
- No hardware changes from the Linksys WRT3200ACM
There was a time where the only biggest perk that a "gaming router" had to offer its target audience came in the form of aesthetics. An appeal that echoed a lot of the language and logic surrounding the design of laptops in the niche.
- Ping improvements
- Great UI
- Premium price
- Mileage may vary

- Solid WiFi performance
- Easy setup
- £300 price tag
- Key benefits limited to Killer clients
Linksys WRT32X Gaming Router Review
When I was first asked to look at the Linksys WRT32X, I wasn't sure how I could utilize such a router without the Killer networking components. Luckily I was loaned the MSI GT83VR Titan SLi laptop which does have Killer networking components built in.- Killer Networking support
