What’s a decent gaming router that isn’t a “gaming router”?

Something I can pick up at Best Buy tomorrow….

Apparently, I’m the only one in the world that can’t stream gameplay to a portable device with 500/500 fiber internet reliably with a ISP router.

Find you one of those Tplink Archer routers. Mine had lasted awhile

Think that would be good

But what's your setup? Are you in control of the Internet or in an apartment?

Firewalls could play a role on quality. So can the distance from the router. Range extender can help that though

Frontier 500 Fiber (residential - control of my internet).

There's some kind of contraption in the garage that converts it from fiber to cable (that's the way I currently understand it), and it's routed through the attic into one of my bedrooms/office area.

That cable comes out of the wall via a coaxial cable into another little box (some kind of ethernet adapter - from Frontier).

Then it goes into my router (Arris NVG468MQ - from Frontier).

Sounds like ATT, transceiver in garage, it's not adding latency or anything, and then to their shitty box. On ATT you can set it to passthrough to basically let your router do all the work, do that. IMHO i would buy a router that can take openWRT, bit of a learning curve but better than the rando crap you get from a store. All the Arris stuff i get from ATT is arse.
