You my have noticed some home broadband routers being marketed as gaming routers. People can play online games through routers that aren't considered gaming routers, but certain kinds of routers offer a few specific network performance features that make them more attractive to gamers:
- high-speed Ethernet ports: Gamers often prefer wired connections to wireless and expect Gigabit Ethernet speeds at a minimum
- high-speed Wi-Fi: When Ethernet cables aren't a practical option, gamers need the fastest Wi-Fi connectivity available; nowadays, this means802.11ac and sometimes even dual band routersupport
- traffic prioritization features: Gaming routers support special Quality of Service (QoS)configuration options that allow the network data for games to be processed faster at the expense of processing other kinds of traffic slower - examples of these technologies include Qualcomm StreamBoost
