Review: ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC2900 Gaming Router

So the main differences over the AC86U are the RGB lighting and that this does 160mhz width on 5ghz? Does it do 80+80?

 

I was wondering WTF is a gaming router

 

The RGB lighting is for if you have the socket near the door way and can walk about the hour without turning the lights on

 

Only noobs game over Wi-Fi. Real pros use Ethernet.

 

I agree. I'm switching back with my next build, at the latest.

 

I don't understand the point of these "gaming" routers. The WIFI performance is still abysmal compared to wired.
If you want fast low latency for gaming, just use some Cat5e!

 

you don't understand yet you have the gall to comment on their performance.

 

Because it's a shedload of money for something that can be bested by a $5 bit of wire.

 

its 1ms vs .5ms, you won't notice.

 

True. So I'd still just take the unnoticeably faster wired and save the money.

 

Real pros use someone like The Matrix
