I returned the Netgear ac1200 router for constantly dropping the signal from 12 feet away, around a corner through a thin wall with the door open. I then bought Netgear Night Hawk which is awesome, awesome, awesome! I don't do gaming, but we have tablets, computers, phones and gadgets; and streaming a movie is seamless.

Yes it does seem to perform well for online gaming. Much more so than wireless cards, I've been impressed with it.

Yes. I'm in the same boat and this computer is awesome. Not to mention that it runs all of my online games like World of Warcraft with no issue.

The computer will go as fast as your router will allow, I never had good luck with wireless speeds when playing online games. I always have the best results when I am plugged in, that has no bearing on the computer though, its mostly the wireless fault from the router.

Yessir it will! I've had a bit of ping issues with it though when playing games such as League of Legends, but for the most part it's smooth sailing. I'm not sure if the ping is caused by an overabundance on my network, or just the luck of the draw. But yes, it will work.

I bought this and it runs Stars Wars MMO, World of Warcraft MMO, EverQuest II and FF just fine with no blinks or lag as well as all mine Craft programs.. so its fast enough for all of those with no issues.

This does not have a built in modem, the only advice I can give you for finding a built in Modem/Router is to look for a Router built for Gaming, they are always the best as online gaming requires large amounts of data flow, out and in. Myself personally, I would never combine the two. Reason, because if one goes out, they both go out. At least if the router quits working you can still Ethernet into the modem and get online.

It should be fine unless you are in a big game with a lot of other players It says broadband required if you aren't sure I would go to Battle.net and get some feedback from Blizzard. It's a great game if you love Diablo2

Sorry, don't know about that stuff but I do know that this router will prioritize the connection to my xbox and you can monitor every device on your network from your PC. No more lag on gaming. No problems with this router.

Yes in a way!! I have a basic package from my ISP. Only 6 MG. When I use the N900 I use it on a dual band setting. Putting out both 2.4GHZ and the 5GHZ. Some of the newer devices samsung Gal II for example can pick up the 5GHZ signal and my laptop can get about 4 bars in Win8.1. I didn't expect that speed. But it is only when I am up close about 0 to 20 feet away. But if I go outside in the yard then I loose bars on the Laptop but the Samsung Gal III comes in as soon as I hit the driveway, about 40 feet away. So it really depends on the newnest of the devices you use. As far as the Game consoles it adequate but that is not the fault of the N900 but the basic speed package I have. Trust me when I say this, the N900 is a great choice for a medium size household with slow speed. I can not attest to high speed broadband yet.

I ended up buying it because one of my coworkers has the exact same router as me Linksys Gaming Router (Gbit) (WNT330 I think) along with this CM100 modem. It works perfectly and never drops away from the ISP (COX communications). If you have the option to manually choose a DNS server on your Router, try 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2. Those are fast national DNS servers (I think they are Verizon servers, but it should work).

I don't think you can do QOS with the switch. If you're doing online gaming QOS is usually done on the router. Each switch port is several times faster than your ISP connection. Unless you have Google Giga bite fiber. The switch's backplane can handle several giga bit of traffic simultaneously. If your gaming is several local subnet connections the switch should be fast enough to handle several Gb connections.

Yes, runs very well with gaming. I don't use it for online game play much,but I do have new current games on it now and runs as smooth as my ps4

I have used it for my ps4 and my gaming pc. Both worked flawlessly. If you have an ethernet port it will work

I purchased this card as an upgrade for my wife's aging Dell. I also added 1G of RAM to max it out. It increased the Windows performance score by 0.4 on the graphics. We play WoW and it did help but not substantially. My system is considerably newer runs a Win score about twice hers. It might be able to run Warlords of Draenor but I doubt you will be pleased with the performance. The bus for this card is just not fast enough to support the new video games. Good luck on your gaming endeavors!

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim
