Read our full Asus RT-AX82U review Should you buy a gaming router? But, they won’t be as fully featured as this Asus router.

So, if you’re severely limited on what you can spend, there are cheaper options out there. While it’s not expensive, it’s not cheap either. There’s even a ‘mobile gaming’ feature meant for iOS and Android gaming. When we tested this router, not only was setup a breeze but we found in the web interface and mobile app the ability to either just set up and go or to fine tune our internet experience the way you would expect from an expensive gaming router, including some gaming-related features. To start, it’s speedy thanks to its Wi-Fi 6 capability, which also means it’s capable of handling quite a few devices. However, no device is perfect and the price is to be expected for such a fully-featured and speedy router.įor not a lot of money, the Asus RT-AX82U is the kind of jack-of-trades router you might want to consider for a busy and varied household. We also experienced some bumps with the initial setup. Of course, the one thing we don’t love is the price as this is a pretty expensive router. It even has other useful features such as OneMesh support that lets you connect it with other routers with the same feature for a mesh-type router system. Wi-Fi 6 support is on hand even though most computers and devices have yet to adopt it. It offers three bands, including a dedicated 4.8GBps “gaming band,” and all three are speedy and rock solid in our testing. In our experience, the TP-Link Archer GX90 does all that. That means getting something with high enough speeds and throughput, a stable connection and features like QoS to keep that online arena shooter prioritized in the network’s bandwidth. Gamers looking to get an edge up on the competition would do well to get a router that can keep up with their internet needs.
