Question about Nighthawk gaming router
Hey guys, I have a question and wasn’t sure who to ask.
Basically I just moved and I’m unable to hardwire my Xbox . I’m staying in a basement and the router is on the first floor. After testing, the connection is supposed to be good but I experience lag quite often when gaming. I was considering buying the Nighthawk pro for gaming to help combat this. What I was wondering was
-is this a good method to help with lag -I’m only one floor down directly beneath the router/modem, would the distance be a problem since I can’t hardwire
Thank you

Re: Question about Nighthawk gaming router
Wireless is not a great option though gaming router may not help if your wireless.
I'd first check the configuration of the wireless. Possible a better wireless signal maybe needed.
Might check into some power line devices for wired connection since ethernet is best and recommended for gaming.
Can try a gaming router and see if it might help some.

There is also the option of using powerline adapters as well as mentioned above but they aren't as stable as a direct ethernet connection.
Always worth considering.
