Playing games successfully online relies on snappy speed. If you've noticed your gaming's gotten a bit sluggish of late, these simple tweaks can help minimize your ping and maximize your successes!

As gamers we need the best net connections possible, and while we prefer the super-reliability and ubiquity of (Intel) Gigabit Ethernet in our ROG motherboards and ASUS RT routers, sometimes running a wire is not always possible. ASUS' new EA-AC87 and existing RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200 fit this need. For times when you need WiFi, 802.11ac gives the best speeds and reliability, but not every device ships with this spec so the new EA-AC87 AP can convert a Gigabit Ethernet connection from your gaming PC or even Xbox One, PS4 or NAS/HTPC (all together - there are four Ethernet ports) into 802.11ac wireless that then connects to your main 802.11ac router.
