What gaming router do you use, /v/?
is there actually a reason to get something better than some cheap $30 linksys router if your download speed is only 60 Mb/s?

Yes. Even if the freeway speed limit is 60 MPH traffic will slow like crazy if you force every car to merge into one narrow lane.

how much money should an average person with that download speed expect to spend on a new router?
>>332786030
Get something good. As a cable technician, I can tell you that you're gonna want it to last like 4 or 5 years, so spend the money now or get hurt later especially as new internet features and devices that use internet come out. You want something that will do its job, in terms of how much you can spend, it depends on the deal, but you're looking in the 70-100$ range, or you can just rent one from your ISP
>>332786030
With 60mb/s? You can find something easily for $60 to $100 depending on features and performance you want. I wouldn't recommend bargin bin routers with a connection above 40mb/s (below that you could probably get away with it, though you still might have issues).
You can get crazy and move up to the newer technology, but that all depends on your living situation needs and wants.
That router in your picture looks mildly impractical.
I bet half of the people who buy these routers are still using a shitty modem and not taking advantage of the speeds from it at all
Modern consumers are fucking idiots
Literally the only thing that made MKX playable.
Speed doesn't mean shit for actual online gaming past a certain, very low point. It just doesn't take fast download speed. What comes into play is how good of a consistent wifi signal it can put out, which is fucking impossible to judge without seeing reviews.

c'mon step it up

>just got a call from ISP

>also going to send me an adapter that will speed up wifi throughout the house
>no taxes, installation fees, or reset required
>my bill was already on a plan that was just $30 a month
>mfw
thank you based brighthouse
>>332784403
Why buy something this expensive when you won't even use wifi?
>>332790023
because it's gaming hardware, therefore superior.
>using wireless ever

and here Time Warner called to tell us our speed was being throttled to 20Mpbs and the monthly rate was going up.
Man, having a monopoly on internet access in an area must be nice.
