    What is the difference between a regular and gaming router

    What is the difference between a regular router which is used in home and office and a gaming router. I am setting up a multiplayer setup at my place. For that when I was making the list of hardware I found on net separate routers for gaming. I want to setup a lan gaming which can be fast and at a time more than 4 people will be playing the game. So just want to know the difference. Regular routers are more cheaper compare to gaming one.

    Gaming routers are design for fast lan. They have advance options to configure gaming network while in regular one you get limited bandwidth and features. For example D-Link DGL-5500. It is a advance gaming router that has many benefits over the regular one. It come with a unique feature called as StreamBoost. This offer you a constant bandwidth to your devices when you are playing games.

    In gaming you need a constant connectivity. Like you are having tablets and mobile phone and you are trying to play multiplayer games on that. On regular router the streaming is affected when many are connected while in gaming router, the device itself manages the bandwidth. If you want a lan gaming setup then there is no need to buy this gaming router. You just need a good switch. But if you are going to play games on wifi then you need this hardware.
