    The problem might be is that if your always connected to the closest server ,it doesn’t mean it’s the best or the fastest connection, being in a rural area closest isn’t always the best..

  3. @Wake-up1776 on December 16, 2024 at 7:38 pm

  8. @tbe8827 on December 16, 2024 at 7:41 pm

  14. @northwestlife2794 on December 16, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    It’s been three years now since this video. Is their a better router now that you recommend? I just started zipply fiber which gives me my own personal fiber optics. I don’t know much more about it just that it’s around 1000 megabytes up and 1000 megabytes down. What would work well with this in 2023? Thanks for the video.

  15. @ChamaUFC300 on December 16, 2024 at 7:48 pm

    Also another good point is most routers from cable companies don’t allow you to use VPN hence why i am here

  20. @CarlosHernandez-gc6no on December 16, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    But would you need to improve your internet speed also?

  40. @sixthwarrior6788 on December 16, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    I can never find the answer to the question which is stopping me from purchasing one…. Do you need to pay monthly for it like you do for a normall router

  43. @andreymatveyev3204 on December 16, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    you basically read the info of the box, no quantifiable info given, qos gives priority to your traffic, word for word of the box, but how much of a difference does it make, do we gain 1ms 20ms, same with the other points. no takeaways form this video

  44. @SC_46 on December 16, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    My ISP said that gaming routers are basically just to improve wifi. I do trust ehy have been the very best in terms of gaming optimisation, so I’m confused after watching your video. They say all routers have built in QoS, so is it enough to get a basic router that has custom QoS to make sure I hav priority or are some QoS priority router better than others?

  45. @weldersanchez7150 on December 16, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    glasscock…. what a fucking name bud

  46. @DevoeBanereact on December 16, 2024 at 8:29 pm
