"Rooter"
"Row-terrr"
It's pronounced like that in the UK
oh, everybody I know in the uk calls it that, it doesn't matter
When I say rowter my mum laughs at me

Can't wait for 802.11ax routers and gigabit internet connections to become a standard.
Danyal A. AX is coming this year in the enterprise space but devices still won’t be ready for a few years on a large scale.
Wave 2 AC products are only just becoming main stream now.
High end devices should be compatible with AX connections next year and the first AX consumer routers should start popping up this year.
AX will be backwards compatible with AC but the actual wireless chipsets for laptops etc wont be around most likely till 2019. Highend devices like Dell XPS will most likely have them as soon as they are released but the mainstream sub 1k laptops most likely wont till 2020 due to cost.
Qualcomm already unveiled a AX modem last month.
Danyal A. I already agreed with you on that, I’m talking about the chipsets that will be in laptops, phones not routers or access points
Came on here for the short answer and y’all just roast this man 😂💀

Just by reading the comment section, I can see how cruel of a world we live on. These people are the ones to kill innocents. They will do anything to make a little laugh. Usually happens when they aren’t happy with their personal life.

U right bruh I got crippling depression
Just don't try. We do live in a cruel world where people will bully anyone. but you posting in the comments isn't going to stop anything.. Btw you spelled Innocent wrong just letting you know
idk if you have ever owned a gaming router or a highspeed netgear router but all that design that has vents is there for cooling purposes. they do have their own prcessors and such that needs to have space and airflow to cool especially one that works as hard as that one does. btw unhook those antennas and see how far you go before losing wifi connection then connect them and see how much further you get. i can be like 50 meters away through 4 building walls outside of my apartment in my car and still get signal lol
Incognito huh 👀👀👀
CardiUno I use that to stash my porn history away
Uz1Gang exactly
CardiUno try a vpn. Incognito mode still sells your data.
But be careful with a VPN, the 5 eyes are something to worry about.

Every single video I watch and come upon from him everyone is always bullying him💀
Because every people would judge what they see
Tries a gaming router, but uses a mac
has nothing to do, for test the features of the router tho
Anisify I know I hate macs
x_rebelfighter_x the real question is who doesn’t?
Only douche bags "hate" macs. Usually people that have never used them too. Stop trying to be so edgy and a bandwagon
EAGLE___EMPIRE macs are ass for gaming tho
A router for gaming!? They'll make a router for literally every device , while i'm stuck here only the next room, barely picking up 1 bar XD
MrKing 144p Squad
I remember in middle school I was trying to steal my neighbor who was across the street wifi. It worked. Just had to be super close to the wall.
Uea i have VERY bad ping and i HATE IT! It makes me look like a bad player. Look like your teleporting to other people and on your screen you freeze in place or think you are moving but end back up in the same spot like a rubber band.. I HATE THAT CRAP! Small suggestion, if you dont buy a router then atleast buy am ethernet cable to connect to the router you do have. It will give you better connection
@@MrR4ge89 O get ban on minecraft server cuz my ping is 1000,people report me cuz all think i teleport
"Rueter", "Efernet"... Cheers from America bro, all good stuff.

Just a bit deaf
This is one of the best reviews I have ever seen. Thank you.
He sounds like each time he says router he actually saying root her... ngl giving me motivation.
What he didn’t say is that it’s £300+
great video again Alex and Jed only thing is that you're missing the links in the description again. Love the videos both here and on your other channels. Keep up the good work :)
To simplify most of what he is explaining because he draws out everything he says. Gaming routers are ideal for personal use. You use it in your own home with family router working will cause odd internet accessibility issues. Essentially you make this as your main router it will ALWAYS out preform the stock router yiu get from yiur internet provider. You also will have to contact your internet provider to see if it supports your aftermarket router. (Some internet providers will see an unregistered device/ip/router connected to your internet and will potentially slow down your internet speed for not using their products) once you have established your device on your internet the gaming router allows for QoS (Quality of Service) essentially what a stock router is an example is mario pipes. The internet comes from outside as one big pipe and splits into equal seperate pipes for every new device put on so one router with 2 devices connected get a 50/50 connection. The more you add devices the lower those numbers become. A gaming router allows for QoS Priority which means it allows for you to add all your devices but allows you to set up the priority each gets. Meaning you have a Streaming PC, Xbox one and PS4 and 1 phone you can set priorities for each of the devices so the mario pipe doesnt divide equally anymore it divides by priority so if all are on and using internet whatever device is set at highest priority will receive the biggest piping (largest bandwith router allows by your settings) so you can set your devices as such Streaming PC (1), Xbox 1( 2 ), PS4 (3), Phone (4). Meaning when in use your streaming PC will gain the highest bandwith even if other devices were connected first. You can also go even further in depth and change priority for specific internet usage. So streaming, downloading media, uploading media and gaming. All require different ammounts of bandwith so you can also set those to different priorities so you get best service for whatever you do. If you mainly game and stream movies almost as much you set gaming as priority 1 and streaming as 2 that way you dont get bloat buffer. It is ideal for those who want the best out of a router with an after market router and dont want to go through the hassle of messing with the stock router. Many other features come with these devices and i am willing to answer any questions someone may have about this.
do you have to pay monthly for the router to receive internet? or is it a one time pay? also, if you don’t pay an internet provider, where does the internet/wifi come from?
Absolutely great tutorial! I love my xr500 and once it is setup correctly, managing you network is a breeze! Probably overkill for most but this is how routers should be implemented for homes...folks would become more knowledgeable and IT networking would then become much easier to explain to average users!
I think it’s because the consumer is looking for a gaming router over a normal router and they instantly recognise it’s a gaming router 🙂
When you bring home your alien after Area 51 raid......
You covered everything I wanted and got to the point on all of them. Brilliant
1:25 is my gaming setup but without the Laptop, Monitor, Xbox, and PS4
Link he forgot to mention: www.dslreports.com/speedtest
Thank alot .
thaanks man i was looking it
thanks
So when I buy it all I have to do is set it up and I can use it? Or am I going to keep paying monthly Bill's? I'm interested in buying this .
You have to pay your monthly internet bill duh
@@minionsreal so I'm confused , do I have to have netgear to use it ? I have spectrum .
It's called a gaming router because it has the latest netduma os included which allows you to have a bunch features strictly for gaming and you get congestion control
Could you cheat the system and put a faster internet speed than you have when you enter your internet speed
since i play in my room and the router is in the living room do i buy this and put it in my room and use eithernet ?
realityX Mm did you figure it out?
Mine buffered at 11:17 and it was perfect 😂
Comments are stupid funny, but the review was great and answered all the questions I had about this product. I actually ordered the XR450, which seems to be the same as the XR500 minus 200mbs max 2.4 speed (which 600 is far more than my connection can reach) and $100+ (less). I too was also hoping for mounting holes.
He’s saying there’s no point making routers look good because nobody is gonna see it with my gaming setup but my router is right next to me LOL
Ive learn through trail and error that these high priced routers mean nothing when online gaming. The netcode in WW2 is trash and the imortant thing is ping. Use ethernet cord and lobby surf... it sucks but COD sucks and us gamers have no other choice.
ee
@Jesse Pinkman don't come in here responding to a two-year-old post... 😂E
What is that ping website called
I have one question, so do you need to have good speeds already with your internet provider to have good speeds with the gaming router?
I’m wondering the same thing
I'd assume so
@@Jay-jx3vp Damn bruh, this was a year ago lmao. I was so desperate for good WIFI. ending up upgrading from CenturyLink to Xfinity and went hardwired
Just set game ports or "service port" to highest priority and set port 80 and port 443 to lowest your router will do the rest.
If you are using bandwidth percentages use 67% for highest and 33% for normal. I would avoid settings for "medium" priority I think this just makes your router not sure of what it's doing. Hope this helps please give me a like if it does.
Killing me with the "rooter" ? 💀💀
It is a 'rooter' though. A 'rowter' is a woodwork machine. If you're from the UK and don't use these two words correctly, then you need to go back to school.
Omg why are y’all so mean!!!! Smh watch the video and go
U can have a rlly good router but ur speed and latency depends also on ur Ethernet cable, most people have CAT5 cables, u should have a CAT6 if ur looking for good and easy gaming and now that CAT 7 is available, u can get 0 ping on some games (per example Fortnite ) because simply it has a latency of like 600 MHz Which is insane! Try it out for ur self they are cheap on amazon!
I like to put my router on my desk so whenever I feel nervous I look at my router and I get my confidence back.
Aimerais bruh I can imagine 😂😂😂
When he said “rooter” I felt that
Kef LS50s eh
I hate it when idiots say they are going to put the link to a site in the description and they just end up not doing it.
I can download things while playing games with ease and I don't have a net gear router I just have a standard Virgin router also with certain games you can limit your max ping and if your playing a decent game with a decent amount of serves then you don't need a program to reduce the distance of which serves you can connect too
bro u need a mic just get one
Listen world,
You don't want ot buy any router, get a Netduma R1, I'm not fucking joking, neither am I sponsored bu them lol. But this router, although it costs 200$ (which if you think about it can be less than other netgear or asus stuff) is litterally a beast. Its the router with the most possibility and optiosn for gamers, sand it comes with one of the best vpn technologies, without paying more.
Trust me you won't regret it.
What was your actual ping VS your standard rooter?
I knew nothing about routers what so ever before watching this video, but I actually really enjoyed it and you did a great job of explaining everything. Great job! Keep up the awesome work Alex and Jed!
I love the video. I just wish the audio was a little better. Do you have any lav mics for next time?
you should use another room that one so much echo just saying
Just remember that a lot of routers are supported by 3rd party firmware, such as dd-wrt and that will provide you with all the features these new 'gamer' routers provide with a simple flash of the firmware.
Also you can get these multi antenna routers from aliexpress for like 30 bucks and it's got a 4.9 rating from over 800 buyers.
Aussie internet be like 3 download and 0.5 upload.
And Ireland
I rekon
Gooooooodddd
♪♪♪
Love the videos alex, but maybe when you're not in the techflow studio, use a on person mic so the quality is at the professional level of the other videos.
If you have around 60-70 ping in Fortnite and then buy this how much will it lower the ping?
Leo & Angie alright so the first thing you want to do is uninstall fortnite. Then you can download absolutely any other game and your problem is solved. No need to worry about ping the only problem is that you are playing fortnite.
Awesome videos guys! Keep up the hard work Alex and jed🔥🔥
dude look like sid from ice age😂😂😂
0:15 bruh he said 👂👁👁👂
👄
Can someone explain this to me even tho it might be common sense. If my parents router is downstairs connected to a computer and modem and i want my own personal router, how would i be able to hook it up wirelessly? Would my own router have to stay connected to the modem downstairs or can i move it in my room and use it as a wireless access point? Can two routers even be connected to one modem?
When is the MacBook video coming out? You were recording it in the vlogs a while ago and I’m thinking of getting one and want to know your guys’ thoughts?
Shaun Woods absolutely stay the fucking fuck away from that fuck
Shaun Woods get a gaming PC. Macs are shit
Inv1ctus Macs are good for a lot of things. You’re probably just salty that you can’t afford one.
You look like that dude from Wallace and grempit😂😂🤦🏽♂️
Not recommended unless you want to unleash the best gaming experience you'll ever have. Lol.
Honestly the best router ive ever owned.
Works amazing. Lower ping lower jitters. Making hit registration on poubt 99.95 out of 100.
Its not cheap but worth it if you game a lot.
If I put one of these in my room how would I connect it to my normal router without a Ethernet cable??
So yes
Abid That isn't very nice
Tis'nt
Lol messed up
Max your that kid In school that bumlicks init I can just tell
Hm.
Hay Marz can u review the linx vision 8 gaming tablet (available at tescos (£80) or eBay (£70) )
No
i dont understand i got this router and turned everything on and did what u said and my ping is still 56 at average
please someone help me with my problem
So if you set your geofilter to a certain area you can’t play with anyone outside of that area?
Ethernet is better
no shit
Yea thats if you have a phone socket right next to your gaming pc in your room which is highly unlikely
Optic500 facts
Optic500 they make longer cords than 1ft long
basshead true or u can use a powerline adapter which is the same as ethernet
My bufferbloat score is an A without QoS, yeah pfSense for the win!
Max what router?
A VMware virtual machine on a Dell PowerEdge R710 server.
its a server. hehehehe
Homogeneous Khalidious yes :D
That option where it refuses you to connect to another location is a bit dumb since most games offer you an location to where it wants to connect to. So you can chose like just America servers if you stay there, so that feature is a bit stupid.
Good Video. Great information. A bit fast paced but never boring. Thanks for a video that isn't just posting the company ad. Helped me decide what to purchase. Even subscribed.
13:30 Awwwesome room
He looks like a rabbid from rayman 😂
What’s the best current router ? Synology rt2600 or the Asus-86u ? Or Netgear 4X?
How does it connect to the internet? In my house i have WiFi and it’s in my parents room but I’m trying to get a wired connection in my room by buying a router. How could i connect it to the internet
Um thats Infinite Warfare not Advanced Warfare
I remember I almost bought a NetDuma router....Good thing I never did.
Hataz y?
Routers with external antennas have much better signal range and if you need to boost the signal up you could replace the antennas with high gain antennas for even better range
I also have XR500 router best router I ever owned!
It’s the same router as the D7800 which has better Ariels than the 500. The tech is 5 years old and sadly Duma is a tad buggy and not a single fix in a year. Let’s hope milestone 3.0 does not follow this.
Set radius to 2000 km since I have not been able to auto fill squad extending range would seem to defeat the purpose of geo map any help appreciated
9:30 wait, what? No it doesn’t. Games know your location and connect you to other people in your general region...
I like your videos and I like your channel, but don’t try to stretch the truth to make a product look better than it is.
Well no, they do connect you to mostly people in your region, but sometimes it connects you with people from all over the world. This router refuses that to happen at all
Not all games. Pubg is one good example
The router physically disables any host outside of the radius that is set, regardless of any Geo-location code that the game would be running to connect to local servers. The router can do this because it is physically talking to the authentication server that provides the data connection. The reason that this can happen is because each location gets certain IP addresses that are for that location and the router will know this from a database of IP's.
He didnt stretch the truth, I looked this up and it does what he said it does, it tries to connect you to which ever anywhere in the world. It looks at best connection, sometimes that can be hundreds of miles away, it depends on the internet provider and what they limit the bandwidth allowed so a connection 100 yards away could be a bad connection where one 20000km away could be faster. Most travel at the speed of light now so it doesnt matter where your location is.
Peyton yea it does dude basically lets say u live in the uk sometimes when you play u might join someone in america and like australia it happens it happens with me
*ETHERNET*
Very useful video. I’m getting (FTTH) fibre soon and a fibre router will be provided by the Telco.
Is there a ‘Gaming’ router with similar features that could replace the Telco equipment and connect to the fibre line directly?
Surely, to maximise speeds, reducing unnecessary hardware is beneficial -I’ve had ‘Double NAT’ problems in the past in similar setups despite using bridge mode?
Should i put my virgin hib 3.0 into modem mode first before connecting the xr ?
“Eethernet rooter”
Guys amazing video. Glad to see someone with knowledge, and making it easy for us to understand. Cheers mate, keep up the awesome work :)) Love these vids keep them up as well :) I also admire that you don't recommend what's in bulk in shops. Normally it's shit mate. gg nice. I never touch manuals as well. I didn't even with my electic guitar's old pedalboard, I had and it went well xD.
If you were to have the geo filter active and be in a party with a friend and they were to be hosting (different wifi connections) would the geo filter be overridden or still apply to your set radius even tho you wont be hosting? just for clarification
Use a PC with pfsense and Intel lan cards as your router. Mikrotik Switch. Run wires to your devices unless you like pain. For wifi, something ac1750+ that runs ddwrt.
STOP SAYING ROOOTER
That's because Roooter is the correct pronunciation as its not a "Router" for cutting wood.
@@SITHRooTs what?
@ExN Exeneris I take it you're from US?
If so then I understand, as Americans don't pronounce and spell words properly.
You speak English language, but make up your own spellings and pronunciations of words.
Router is spelt the same in both instances, but has two meanings that are pronounced differently. Rowter : in sounding is a tool used in woodwork. Rooter: in sounding is a what people use for internet connection. BOTH are spelt the same, but sounding different. Look it up in the english dictionary.
We dont make up spelling
@@exnxris- You are either ignorant or stupid. Ok last school lesson.
English language spelling - Armour. American spelling - Armor.
There are plenty of other comparisons but I think I've just proved my point.
I have a netgear gaming router. It works really well. :D
does it help with reducing ping or does it just work well for extra LAN cables and wifi distribution.
is there gaming router can deal with bad telephone line ( low SNR & high attenuation ) and make telephone quality better ?
i have this router Asus RT-AC88U best router for me
5:29 pause the vid 😂😂

Just by reading the comment section, I can see how cruel of a world we live on. These people are the ones to kill innocents. They will do anything to make a little laugh. Usually happens when they aren’t happy with their personal life.
nothing better than a new rooter!
I got a serious question that I think you might be able to answer. Would it be better to build your own gaming router or would the netgear nighthawk that you suggested in this video be better for playing video game such as rainbow six siege or black ops 4?
its main feature in the geofilter, it is looking for a game in your region
So if I buy one will it increase range and does it have to be connected with a Ethernet cord to my modem?
Get 10% off Squarspace, thanks alex i do love a bit of squarspace
lost all credibility when you inserted a game disc with your fingers on the back side..... ever heard of fingerprints or scratches? you can insert the game with your fingers in the center hole or just around the edges like everyone else. but dont grab it like its a piece of toast LOL makes you look like an amateur gamer which would be questionable for any info you try to provide.
Sorynthian somebodies triggered lol
Sorynthian I pick up toast like I pick up a disc, minus the hole
I absolutely love your comment lol well said 👍
Wow makes perfect sense
Are there any apps out for this yet. I have had this for a while now but there was nothing available when I purchased it and I would love to see what it can do (preferably something with powershell)
Im confused , if you buy gaming router do you still need to buy like a normal internet broadband and pay monthly for that too ? Help anyone
LOLZ sitting here with a iPhone hotspot because that's all I can get... Just did a speed test.
Ping: 44ms
Download: 43mbps
Upload: 3mbps
It sucks your lucky, its funny how i live in America and still have bad internet, while you guys live hundreds of miles away and still get better internet than us americans.
sweden has 10gbit for 89$ a month :D
When you think 50mbs is trash
Bro shut the fuck up, while ur getting nearly 50mps where stuck here getting 600kbs
Which isn't even close to 1mbs 😂😂😂
not true I get 80 megabits per second and 5 up
*"Ethanet cabol" "Rooter"*
To all those in the comments section regarding netduma not being a gaming router I've had a netduma R1 sinice day one!!
It works 100% it won't make you a gaming god but it will give you full control over your Internet network traffic within the household and improve your gaming experience massively.
Why choose the Netgear XR500 over the Asus RT-AC88U? If you connect your PS4 via Ethernet, can you still prioritize the bandwidth?
I wonder if he actually using this router or was it just sent to him?
его главная особенность в геофильтре, он ищет игру в вашем регионе, i have his best router
