    Yo man,

    This is your third post about you friggin Amazon gift card. Enough already. Respect the sub.

    Replacing or buying your own router is not going to help you game. You need a different method to connect, because if you could wire in with Ethernet, you would have already done so, and probably not be complaining.

    People telling you to buy an Ethernet cable are on the right path, but if you really live in a house with 8 people, you won’t get away with laying that cable across the floors.

    Try Powerline Adapters. It uses your power outlets to form a wired connection to your current router. They have a bad reputation, but sometimes the work surprisingly well. Just keep in mind that gaming doesn’t need a lot of speed, just good latency. Powerline can often give you much better latency than crowded WiFi with 8 people on it.

    And guess what? They are $49.99:

    Just return them if they aren’t good for your room.

    Use free shipping from Amazon.

    Good price now (Cyber Monday) on this one, it’s popular and I see it recommended a lot:

    GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router – AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Internet | IPv6 USB 2.0 MU-MIMO DDR3 |128MB Ram

    It has several modes, router is the regular mode. It can also receive your existing house Wi-Fi and repeater it, or generate wired ethernet output from It.

    Tp-link makes something similar also.
