When it comes to online games, whether for console or PC, your entire system is only as responsive as your Internet connection. If you wanted to undermine the performance of the best gaming PC machine in the world, all you'd have to do is pair it up with a weak router.
August last year saw us looking at the Netgear Nighthawk XR500 Gaming Router , while it impressed us, the large pricetag and the lack of some basic features as well as shockingly bad build quality did leave a bit of a bad taste.
+ Much improved long-range wireless speed; + Excellent all-round performance; + Great looking chassis; + Easy to set up; + Mounting brackets added; Neutral; +- 802.11ad gives a very limited advantage; +- Costly but gives features that could warrant the price
The Netgear Nighthawk XR700 is the mother of wireless gaming routers, a features and performance monster and also easy to use. Of course, both the router itself and its price tag are rather oversized.
Epic feature set; User friendly; Great performance
Very expensive; Absolutely huge
