Here you can find answer to all your problems:

Ans: Following Routers are approved by Connect Communications to work successfully:

* TPLINK-WR740N (1 Antenna) (Local Market Price) RS. 1500 Approx
* TPLINK-WR340G (1 Antenna) (Local Market Price) RS. 1600 Approx

Approved and tested router's list is already given on first page. cannot say anything about any other router bro it may or may not work even Connect people will not confirm you about any other model and will never entertain your complain if you are using such models that are not approved by them.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

  • L LegacyGamerGuy:
    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
