gaming router to reduce lagging
Need help with my son's gaming system lagging. If someone is watching netflix his game lags. We have att u verse internet that uses a netgear91 that att installed, I guess it is a modem/router? Two questions. First would a nighthawk gaming router help in this situation? Second if this is a possible help, will the nighthawk gaming routers work with the netgear91 that is already there? I have read in some forums that gaming routers may not necessarily help when others are using wifi for netflix.

- DumaOS - the software available on the Nighthawk Pro Gaming range has QoS that is specifically designed to prevent lag when devices are using the internet at once. It can prioritize the gaming device while allowing everyone to use the internet without lag or buffering so I definitely think it would help in your situation.
