Should you a non-gamer buy a gaming router?
Is a Gaming Router worth it if you are NOT a gamer?

It can prioritise certain traffic and gives some useful overview of traffic
This Man deserves more subscribers than Linus has.
Nice, humorous, informative
Appreciate you 🔥
Worth, especially in this context, is a subjective value. If your current setup is doing everything you're asking of it, it's hard to argue that it's "worth" it to buy a new router

Don't worry, your current router will soon no longer be supported and mysteriously stop working on the very day you receive the email. This happened to me with D link mesh router, coincidence?
@@Auguur I have been using my old router from 2009 for my iot projects and I have never got any problem with it still going strong in 2024 . And sir what kind of email do you get? And from who ? Router company ?
I am a gamer, for decades, but I don't do online gaming so I don't *need* a gaming router. However, when I needed to replace my old mesh system-which to be fair was still getting me a fairly consistent 400 or so Mbps but was having trouble reaching an exterior camera-I got Asus' GT6 gaming mesh router system. It reaches the outside camera *and* has been getting me a consistent 500-600 Mbps throughout the house *and* they look super cool. (I don't use any prioritization settings.)
Asus makes awesome products! And agreed, it's all about optimizing your internal network so you get the best speeds for what you need!
I can stand by ASUS routers. great quality. the AI protection makes security much simpler for everyone. the other feature I love is the GUEST NETWORK, not all devices need to see my networks :)
100% nailed it
Sorry I disagree, had one in the past and it lasted a few days, so had to go back to the shop, and weighted next to nothing, so it was cheap and nasty like ASUS products mainly are.
It's the only one I have ever had including the ones with ISP contracts that has ever failed on me in the last 30 years.
@@RocketRenton when was this? What was the model? You also could have gotten one that has OBF (out of box failure) which means that it was faulty. It could have been sitting on a ship and warehouse for months and somewhere it got knocked/ failed. It happens to every manufacturer.
and Asuswrt-Merlin is great
I went cheap on my "router" a used full on enterprise server running a true firewall and a corporate grade AP. Kept it under $300 and now also have a cloud server with redundant drives.
Watching this video and thinking not many homes would need a router like this to be honest.
But then you started the wrap up and I must say you did extremely well. Not for everyone, but if you tried everything else, time for this.
Not forced
Great video
I just sent this video to my boss, his family consists of 3 boys who game constantly and are always on their phones, they will likely have use for a router such as this.
Costs too much for me. But thanks for all the info. We love you
As an elderly home user who has no gaming requirement and currently stuck with the ISP provided hub which can be switched to modem mode I am looking for a router. I would appreciate a video aimed at those who do not wish to spend such a considerable sum on a router.
Interesting, enlightening, and enjoyable! Nicely done!!!
Appreciate you being here
Hey Liron can you make a video showing how to use simple login? Thanks.
You genuine technical nerds may laugh, but I AM impressed with the first 3 characteristics Liron cited for the example Router: 8 "tentacle like" antennae, fancy LEDs, bizarre appearance, etc. There is an old adage: perception is REALITY ( especially if you don't know better). My newly purchased hyped-up router might not actually be as fast as advertised - but I have bought that perception - hook line and sinker ! And therefore : I am a satisfied customer !
Gezz those speeds are unreal,down here in Aussie the best I can get out of my 5Gz is 300 down and 20 up... :(
I'm also in regional Australia and get 600+ through my wifi. But I have NBN full fibre 1Gb/s plan.
Its worth it for traffic throttling and other features and less resets. And more tweaking of settings that can reduce headaches with a normal router. But unless your normal router has a lot of load it won't make much if any difference in isp speeds.
I own and run a Asus 1909p 802.11ac Gaming router just for those purposes. Its the best i've owned (though its out of date to some extent) I only paid $45 and change for it as it was about $91 and half off at a value world when i found it) So i'd call my investment well worth the money spent.
Not sure, but it seems when gaming D/L speed is more important than upload speed. What matters more is the ping on the upload and download side. More so on the upload.
Bufferbloat is the culprit in many cases.
More money means it will most likely have a better performance. It can’t beat a cheap wired connection though.
Hi, what is the actual name of your wifi analyser, seem not in the apple store?
Would be interesting to see performance for gamers on this router vs say a cheap fanless pc with similar ethernet ports running pfsense/opnsense and a decent wireless AP.
Hi can you do a video on wifi analyzer will be great
1:08 except paying more money that will if its not a hardware limit
Making me look rather clever in front of my grandchildren,thank you.
Happy to help make you cool 😎
The internet provider in my area routinely cuts the connection for a minute or so about once an hour...for 11 years now. I suspect it's to encourage customers to "upgrade" to the same exact internet speed without the automatic service interruption. 😕
Madnesses
Unacceptable! Can you switch your ISP?
What cable are you using, CAT 6, 7 etc?
Wow, but, lately, every single ASUS product I have purchased has been in failure mode after about 1 week after the warranty period, then you have to ship back, and then they want more to fix it than you paid. Several great YT channels have commented on ASUS quality, yes, the specs sound great, but how long is it going to last vs how much does it cost. Look and check out reviews on how long and the quality of the build.
Not just Asus, everyone is turning out garbage trying to maximize profit.
Don't need the speed but great video
Appreciate you being here 🔥
This will go with my Rog 8 24GB ram 1TB phone I just bought
hi thank you so much for your great video If i understand well the stronger is the wifi signal the highest will be the speed ?
i get around -50dB using the same app you are using
Exactly
looks awesome, then I found the price, ooof, maybe if I come into a bunch of extra money some how, but I can't justify it now. but I would still like to have it, geek ocd problems, more power more speed , gotta have it
Hi Liron how do you delete a photo that you postedd on google for a company
I wonder can you pair this router with teh AX3000 router?
Hello, Completely Unrelated problem to a router but For some reason without a usb, I don't have an internet setting at all, no access at all, also my ethernet cable that I just bought for some reason isn't working, How do I fix this odd issue???
What package has Liron Segev paid for so we have something to compare the speed test to?
I just decided to go with a Ubiquiti DR
Cool. Whatever works for you
a sucker born every minute
But despite all that super benefits, connecting by a LAN cable is still superior, right? 1:48
As kool as it is, big price though, 800.00. Glad I'm not a gamer :)
TBH, most people can buy a decent quad core gaming router for $180 to $300 and be set. Most people don't need the $800 wifi router.
How to setup vlan
Hello, we need some free ways to reduce ping in games .i think a alot of people will be interested in that
Get rid of the huawei modem
Your devices must also support Wifi 7. A single device that cannot support it will bring the speed down for your entire network.
Would Cat 8 network cable help with getting faster speeds?
At short distances a Cat6e would be fine. Anything above that may be slightly different but I doubt you would notice.
Thanks L-S, ...

how do you get them wifi speeds? I have fiber internet with tp link ax1800 router and i only get 300mbps up and 500 down, wired i get 1gig up and 1gig down.
thats also including being on a 5ghz band. Researched ton of ways to increase my wifi speed and tips and tricks
Can I plug in my rj47
Hi. Got an old tablet that keeps shutting after a few minutes. Is there anything I can do about this or should I just dump it? Old school guy here not too savvy. Thanks.
Probably needs a new battery. Take it to a repair shop and see if it's worth replacing the battery
Depends upon the age; if more than a few years old, a decent tablet like a Samsung Tab S6 Lite is $185 to $300, nets you likely a better wifi, maybe a better screen and a better option overall. It's a choice. Similar to choosing to, or not, dumping $5K into a 25 year old vehicle.. Temper the equation by how much did you pay for it when it was new. Now, if your tablet is a tablet with a sim card , those are more expensive and might be worth fixing.
i use wifi for backup stream but if my phone not pluged in and switch off :(
500 views in 20 mins :)
I use cable for my pc and my internet speed is 500MB on any online test BUT when I'm watching a movie don't even 144p can handle I just don't understand 🤯
Check your router and see if there are any rules of prioritization. Make your video streaming higher
@@LironSegev Thanks for helping, it doesn't have priority rules written not even in the web page of the router, I don't know how to make video streaming higher, it doesn't handle 144p, doesn't matter if I put 360p or 480p, weird is I do a online test and I get 500mb exactly what I have contracted, I called the internet provider and they said that if I get 500mb in online test they can't do anything, just ridiculous 🤦♂️
@@ruicosta3855 To ignorantly insert my rude self into this conversation myacee is undoubtedly not needed in I humbly would like to put forth my question... What exactly do you speak of when you say "When watching a movie"??
@@YOU_CREATE_YOUR_OWN_KARMA_369 Like watching Netflix or even RUclips, on pc I can't watch even with internet cable but with wifi on the phone I can watch at 720p with no problem
At the bottom right of the youtube video screen, there's a gear icon. Click it, it should pop up a menu. From the menu, click Quality, then select a higher quality like 1080P. If it plays at 1080P and looks better, then great. if it goes back to a lower quality setting, you may have an issue with your router.
Routers are electronic devices, and as such, can die, or worse, behave badly after getting hit by a surge or similar issue; Prior to swapping out the router, you might be able to log into your router and reset everything back to factory defaults and then reconfigure, but I'd reset back to defaults and see if that works; I assume you are not on DSL or similar service. You probably should take a screenshot of your router WAN settings prior to resetting the router back to defaults.
I've had a few modems and routers die over time; worst thing is when it does not quite die, but it never works right; reset to defaults and if you can buy a new router that is arguably better. Buy once, cry once.
The problem with these is they look a bit gareish, I prefer a router that you don't even notice, can't really stick it in a cupboard as it affects performance.
Yes and no. At this level putting it into a cupboard, as long as there is good ventilation, it would have minimal impact. (Obviously as long as it's not a solid wooden crate or metal)
Needs to be seen so the world knows this router means business
What app do you use to check your wifi speed?
Assuming he has not changed it, it's called Wifi Analyser (yes, with the s) from Keuwlsoft. I recall getting it after one of his other videos where he did the walk-thru like he did in this video.
I ran the app to get the name and my Starlink connection is connected at a blazing (/s) 156 Mbps to my cell phone.
TIL gaming routers exist
Corna zen and stuff is blocked
What does this mean?
No
tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video😂
@@LironSegev no. I mean i did watch it. But still no
For nearly $800 it better be fast
Promotion
is RUclips down i can only get my subscriptions
My rule is four gen and up, I've tinkered and made routers illegally produce some decent range.
i could give my laptop acer nitro 5 internet from my phone however i didnt try gaming on games like dota2 where internet speed can matter. but that is a test i might try if dota2 runs well from my phone, then id not need a router.
i currently use wifi from house i live at i dont know if or router they use.
You may have the speed, does not mean you will get it
I have 80mb speed and get a max of 8mb

You don’t need these Routers, Get a router what does SQM - Bufferbloat, Then every device you have on your network will run smoothly, I have A+ bufferbloat and over 30 devices and not one single bit of lag or interruptions.
What router do you have?
@@slugzz- Nanopi R4S
it is far too expensive, in my country it costs the same as a month's salary. all too expensive
Don’t use wifi for gaming. It is lame.
does it support vpn
Yes
I will by master of pubg with this
£800 😂 more money than sense if you buy this
$799 not bad
Agree. There is massive value in having ongoing security with no subscription fee. And wifi 7. Love future proof tech
What is the radiation level that a device like this emits?
I'm glad I no longer live in an apartment in a city anymore. If you are concerned about the radiation from one device, well, mount it high on the wall or on top of a cabinet.. Many of these routers can also be set to run their radios at 25, 50, 75 and 100% power. You could even turn off the wifi features and run just wire..
Believe it or not, here in the USA, the FCC has a limit on what channels can be used at what power level; fairly sure that no manufacturer sells wifi routers that exceed the allowed output.
@@MrPir84free thank you very much
