Many gamers rarely go beyond their mouse and keyboard when considering the final stages of perfecting their game.<\/p>\n

What they don\u2019t realise is that a fast, reliable and stable internet connection can take them to a whole new level of gaming, and that\u2019s achievable with WTFast.<\/p>\n

Put simply, WTFast is a \u201cGamer\u2019s Private Network\u201d which analyses gaming traffic from a wide range of games and optimises your route to those gaming servers.<\/p>\n

The idea of WTFast existed as an external application developed by Canadian company and required a monthly subscription in order to make use of their application. But, why would you want to?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a part of the Gamer\u2019s Private Network (GPN) meant your pings were lower, there were very little lag spikes, and your response time was noticeably quicker.<\/p>\n

This would inevitably provide an edge over other gamers, but locally it would put you on a level playing field when joining European servers.<\/p>\n

Remember, geographical location still plays a huge part in determining your ping, so if you\u2019re connecting to Europe, expect the usual latency, except with an average improvement of up to 15% on your ping.<\/p>\n

You may be wondering why this technology hasn\u2019t been implemented on every device?<\/p>\n

Well, the good news is ASUS recently partnered with WTFast creating two incredible, fast, reliable routers; the ASUS RT-AC88U<\/a> and the RT-AC5300<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both of these routers are our top of the range featuring our dual-band and tri-band technology as well as a wide range of features.<\/p>\n

What this partnership achieves is a built in system which uses WTFast to optimize your gaming needs both on wired and wireless connections.<\/p>\n

This is, of course, a free client meaning you wouldn\u2019t have to pay the monthly subscription fee.<\/p>\n

All your gaming traffic would be optimized, twice, by both ASUS\u2019s technology within the router, and WTFast ensuring you\u2019re on your way on the fastest route.<\/p>\n

WTFast offers a free 14-day trial if you wish to find out what it\u2019s about. We\u2019ve tested it on a wide range of games from World of Warcaft to Dota 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
