The D-Link Gaming Router is available starting tomorrow at a number of online locations, including Amazon and NewEgg. So, what makes this router so special over others? They are including Qualcomm's StreamBoost technology which gives priority to selected Internet traffic over others. So, if you are playing an online game, that traffic is going to get priority for throughput over that for say your email. This means that you will get the best throughput for gaming with the D-Link Gaming Router.
With the D-Link Gaming Router you get 4 Gigabyte Ethernet connections and their Wireless AC1300 which has dual band speeds. They are up to 450 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867 Mbps on 5.0GHz with the wireless being backward compatible with the "n" specification. This all sounds great, but the goal is performance when doing online gaming. So they are saying you will get traffic shaping which is a strange description for providing you with prioritizing your network traffic. This is all done with the StreamBoost engine they have included. This allows for traffic to be prioritize which you can do through their interface which lets you drag and drop items to determine their priority. All of this is going to greatly improve your gaming performance.
The new D-Link Gaming Router is available at Amazon for $199.99 and NewEgg for $199.99 along with many other online stores starting on August 1st.
