Razer says new Sila gaming router is the fastest on the market

Razer is an established name in the world gaming peripherals, and now the company is looking at other aspects of the gaming experience that they can tackle.

With connectivity a constant concern for many, the new Razer Sila aims to eliminate such problems with the company claiming that it’s the fastest gaming-focused WiFi router on the market.

How does it keep things fast?

Well Razer says the Sila router’s FasTrack QoS system prioritises traffic in order to deliver a gaming or streaming experience with minimal lag. As such it can detect the console your playing on, or the PC game you’re using, and reserve a portion of bandwidth in order to handle the demands of the title in question.

With a wired connection favoured over WiFi for gamers that want uninterrupted sessions, the Razer Sila could do the trick then.

Should you be using Sila in a larger area, say while you’re gaming with a bunch of mates in somebody’s house, the router can also be connected to other Sila’s to create a mesh network.

A single Razer Sila will cover roughly 278 square metres, with two doubling that coverage to 557 square metres. It’s not mentioned how much a third connected router will accomplish, but we’re assuming even more coverage.

To support the connectivity strength in a mesh network, the Razer Sila also has a dedicated 5GHz backhaul.

The Sila is currently up for sale in the States and parts of Europe for $249.99 (~R3 590).

No word at this stage on whether it will be landing in SA.
