Time for a New Router

[Aiden2k13]

Hey, I need to change my router and this time I am buying a gaming router.
My previous router was from Linksys E900 and I had trouble forwarding ports on it.
So, now I am looking forward to buy a gaming router.

So, kindly suggest me a router that is best for gaming.


Thanks in advance.

It depends on your budget but i would go with asus like rt-ac68u also there is no such thing as "gaming" router they all just have specific features that can optimize latency on games if it says gaming its just marketing.

Okay thanks, so what features should I consider when buying a good router for playing games ? and what is dual band ?

I hate to sound like this but if your having trouble forwarding ports on a Linksys your going to have trouble on any router. As long as your not having connection issues you should stick with your router.

Anyways the best router I've ever owned was a Linksys WRT54G, it's a bit old now but the little guy has never dropped a signal on me. Anywhere between $30 - $60 bucks. That being said it has almost the same firmware if not the same as your router, the best advice I can give you is to look up a tutorial on how to port forward and stick with what you have unless there is a connection issue.

Good Luck

I am getting NAT FAILED on my PS4. My PS4 is obtaining IP ADDRESS and others fine but as soon as it gets to the NAT Section, it shows FAILED.

Can anyone help ?
