      The router would be a great choice, but you would need to add 3-4 SX10 Switches to extend the number of total ports you have.

      For 25+ wired gaming PCs, I’d pay close attention to bandwidth allocation and network congestion rather than just the number of connected devices. The Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers support QoS and traffic prioritization, which can help give gaming devices a more consistent share of the available bandwidth.

      For a setup like this, I’d also test the network under real load with multiple games running at once, especially if some users are streaming or downloading in the background. A stable connection is important for any online gaming platform, including when users access services through M999 Login.
