N XR Gigabit Gaming Router

A router can be a rather boring item since all it does is move packets of data around, but your choice of router is important. For most people an ordinary router will suit them perfectly but when you are a gamer you demand the best latency money can buy. The Sitecom gaming router (WL-308) is a router that is targeted at the hard core.

When you unpack a router it should be a simple plug in and play and with the WL-308 it is. We can vouch for the speed at which this little router can play ball. It was a matter of plugging in the internet connection, the desired amount of network cables, the power and off we went. Wireless setup was a breeze with the system being easily configurable and the signal was more than a little robust both in terms of distance and obstacles.

Port forwarding is a cinch with game settings built in, so if you want to play WoW for example, you select it from the application drop down menu and presto, the router puts in all the details for you including setting up TCP ports for the game. Once you have decided it’s time to tweak the system you will find all the settings you could possibly want and more. Thanks to the StreamEngine you can have your COD4 game taking priority over your sister’s nightly FaceBook binge and your mother’s search for a new fish recipe. The StreamEngine doesn’t just prioritize gaming, it will happily prioritize your VOiP over your emails or your YouTube videos over normal surfing.

Having said all of that, a four port router with no modem, at this price is hardly exciting despite the bells & whistles.
