Gaming router for Sky FTTP
Hi all,
I currently have FTTP and I'm looking to get a gaming router to help with ping etc when everyone is on gaming. I've read that sky broadband is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to using other routers so wondering if someone can help with what I need to look for specifically in a new router?
thanks

Re: Gaming router for Sky FTTP
Gaming router is just a marketing term for QoS; you don't need the QoS functionality with fibre (FTTP) because you will unlikely use all the bandwidth available for that fibre service.
If you want better prioritise traffic then better to invest in an OPNsense/pfSense firewall/router for it will improve the situation far better than a marketing term gaming router, and then add a separate access point (AP) for wireless.
Zen internet on FTTP (900Mbps down, 100Mbps up).

Beta tester Apple iOS/watchOS/tvOS/iPadOS/macOS.
