I'm looking to upgrade my gaming router. I have a Netgear Nighthawk X4S. If I buy this how much of a upgrade would I be getting. First person that give me a good answer will be rep.

Use an Ethernet line for gaming when possible. Thanks for the rep!

We can't answer this without a lot more information. Like what speed does your wireless NIC connect at and how many devices are connected?

Eg mine is 1.73Gbps downlink with MU-MIMO. Upgrading my router will give no performance boost since I already connect at max speed and do not have so many devices that I would saturate the CPU.

My current router has too many things connected and is suffering. (About 35 devices). Would this be a good replacement? Or could I just get a cheap router for all the smart things to connnect to and set it up as it's own DHCP server access point?

I have not had the best experience with TP Link products so far. The router that I used died within a year while the modem needs a frequent reboot . I would rather pay more and stick with trusted brands like Netgear

Your answer might upset him too much because it is too mind blowing and involves too much money saving.

If you have a good consistent connection do mess with it. Nighthawks are usually fast and stable with great pings. I say don't spend the money, but you'd have to test your performance to really know.
