"Best TP-Link setup for smooth online gaming?"
Hi everyone,
I'm setting up a home gaming station and I want the best possible network performance—low latency, stable connection, and no random dropouts during gameplay.
I’ve been looking into different TP-Link products, especially mesh systems and gaming routers.
Has anyone here optimized their network specifically for games?
-
Which TP-Link device gave you the best results for online gaming?
-
Any QoS settings or tricks you recommend?
-
Wired vs. wireless—what’s been your experience with each?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Products that advertise themselves being "optimized for gaming" are mostly meaningless marketing words.
Even under the most ideal conditions, its like fine-tuning only one piece of spaghetti on a full plate. There are SO MANY links, switches, routing paths, hops, media conversions, between your house, the wider internet, your ISP, the main national and internation links, the game's ISP, and their data center that there isnt really anything meaningful to be gained.
Best you can do is just get any good router, use Ethernet, and play.

Hi @johndaddy
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
This is the business forum. We do not have gaming-ready or optimized products.
Generally, use a wired connection for gaming. That's it.
If you need a "gaming product", you can take a look at the home products where they have ads about the gaming-ready or optimized products.
See the link: https://www.tp-link.com/en/explore/wifi-router/#gaming
Or go to rtings.com where they test routers for different purposes.
(We do not have any partnership with any third-party ratings. Just a (my) personal experience and what I use for buyer guidance.)
