The XR500 offers excellent performance with a superb software interface made specifically for gamers. It's nice to see an actual gaming router with gaming features, for once. Overall it performed very well, but for $300 you wouldn't be blamed for wanting even more. Still, it's our new pick for best gaming router, as its software is in a class of its own.
