According to our router expert
The Linksys WRT32X is a router for gaming fanatics. Thanks to its Killer Prioritization Engine, games will be prioritized above all other network traffic. This way, you'll never lose a game because of lag again. To gain the upper hand during a LAN party, prioritize your personal PC or console above all other devices. The gaming router lowers ping by synchronizing automatically with KillerNIC devices. Ensure a strong WiFi connection by using dynamic frequency selection. This will prevent disruption by other networks. Both MU-MIMO technology and its powerful processor help to deal with large numbers of connected devices, and make sure your internet connection won't drop.

I have currently been using the device for +7 months and am still content with this investment. This review is intended for people with a technical as well as no technical background.
The box you receive is all included. The installation, how best to use the device and the first thing that immediately stands out is the sleek and beautiful design of the router.
The device is easy to install. You plug in the power, connect your router to the internet via cable (type Cat 5e or higher is recommended) to your modem (the thing in the wall).
Then connect a device (such as your mobile phone or PC) to the newly installed router and surf to the following address: http://192.168.0.1. Here you get a nice design of an interface that guides you through the different steps to set up your router.
After setting up your router, you can configure your router as you wish via the clear interface. The explanation is well written everywhere, but if you are in doubt, it is best to get someone with knowledge.
All in all, after being in use for +7 months, the device is a great success. All devices that are connected to the 5Ghz (even with poorer range) come at a great speed. The router itself is optimized for gaming, more so on PCs/laptops that send "killer packets" over the network. I do advise to always use cable since this is still faster. (but not really noticeable)
The router detects these packets and ensures that the ping values remain extremely low so that there are no hitches or latency on the network.
Multiple devices can also use the same ports simultaneously on the network. This way, if you have several people in 1 house playing the same console/game on PC, they will be less troubled than with standard routers.
Updates also come out regularly and are downloaded at your self-configured time. The router is also automatically restarted at hours when no device is connected (at an hour that you indicate yourself.)
All in all I give the device an 8.5 / 10. It is not a perfect device but certainly an upgrade for gamers / family with several people who play games. I therefore strongly recommend this router for people who play games or have several gamers at home.
