Higher transmission speeds does not mean better gameplay (less lag, lower ping), especially over wireless connections with inherent packet loss. It would behoove you to figure out a way to get a gigabit infrastructure wherever it is that you game.
Wired connection, optimally at 100Mbps, in reality more around 90Mbps or so, so even if we consider a 60% transmission efficiency for gigabit ethernet, which is harsh, it would still beat twice over the theoretical advertised max throughput of this N router (300Mbps, and this is a rough estimate given the advertising for other N-equipped routers).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
