The most affordable gaming router on the market
Netis Beacon AC1200 Gaming Router is the most low-cost option, and in general, almost the only inexpensive gaming router in our tests. At a price of $45, it offers dual-band operation, Wi-Fi 5 with a maximum speed of 900 Mbps and intelligent QoS, which allows you to set the desired applications and games in the settings, which will automatically receive the highest priority when distributing traffic. Finding such a set of tricks for such money will be extremely difficult.
Fine tuning
In addition, the manufacturer offers its own software that allows finer tuning to the needs of a particular consumer — theoretically, such a solution should bypass the limitations caused by the imperfection of technologies of east european providers. In fact, the problem is that in our penates, providers do not mark traffic packets, and in this case, the router cannot set priorities in any way. Therefore, if you want to play with low ping, then, in the old fashioned way, we set up a period of active updates in the system and turn off p2p networks at the time of games and streams.
Nice design and advanced functionality
Other pluses include MIMO 2x2 support, a gigabit wired connection, an intuitive admin panel, a supply of network ports (4 LAN) and a large coverage area, which is enough for an average apartment. In addition, the Netis Beacon WF2681 looks great, combining the red colours typical of gaming gadgets with the neat design of modern routers. It can also be installed both vertically and horizontally. Against the background of all this, the only thing that can not be liked is the lack of USB for connecting printers and flash drives. At this point, it’s worth returning to the price of the router and remembering that you can’t demand much from it. More importantly, during the tests, we did not encounter any problems in operation, communication failures or difficulties in setting up. Summing it all up, it's hard for us to resist buying recommendations.
