Wize Buying Guide for Gaming


If you’re hosting multiple gaming devices on your network, a fast router is essential. It allows you to run several games simultaneously, reduces lag and allows for a more enjoyable gaming experience overall.


With new protocols like 802.11g an 802.11n, wireless routers are faster than ever and now compete with wired routers for speed and efficiency. Wireless routers have a number of advantages; any computer can get on the network, you don’t have cords running everywhere and you can take a computer anywhere in the range of the wireless broadcast. Of course, you should always secure the network with a password, lest the neighbors get on your network and slow it down.


There are a number of different protocols supported by wireless routers. All support DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which decreases the load on your system and obtains everything necessary to get your devices on the internet. Some also support Point to Point or PPPoE protocols, which allow for easy and secure file sharing over computers on the network. Most come with a CD for fast and easy set-up. With the most popular wireless routers, you don’t have to have a nuanced understanding of wireless protocols to get up and running quickly. The software talks you through setting up a password and configuring the network.


The best routers are fast, wireless, and offer you all of the features you need to enhance your gaming experience.
