What actual router do you have? N600 is a speed.
If you're a professional gamer, you really should update. The N600 devices are several generations and way behind on speeds.
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?

A point to point system is going to add latency and slow speeds.
Try it with your gaming device directly connected to the nanostation. See what performance you get directly from it.
