Super-fast, Amazing DumaOS software, Not fazed by tricky architectural conditions
No broadband modem, Pricey, Unhelpful documentation

Gamers have total control with tons of options to reduce lag, stabilize ping and ensure local connections while playing console games. The menu has helpful pop-up screens to explain what each setting does. The router's range on 2.4GHz was impressive

Viendo las especificaciones no me cabía la menor duda de que estábamos ante uno de los mejores routers a nivel de rendimiento. Lo que no me esperaba es que rindiera tan bien cuando el router no se encuentra situado en la misma planta y a una distancia con...
