Razer Launches the Sila Gaming Grade Wi-Fi Router
Razer announced the Razer Sila, a high-performance WiFi router designed for home users requiring WiFi service optimized for high-performance gaming, streaming and downloading multimedia content.
With the upsurge in mobile gaming, and with many homes unable to run a wired network to every room, fast and reliable WiFi is more important than ever. The Razer Sila router is designed to deliver lag-free gaming and smooth, interruption-free streaming over a fast wireless network, meeting the needs of today's mobile, console and laptop users. a mobile app makes Sila installation and use simple and quick. The Razer FasTrack software featured in the Razer Sila is a proprietary QoS engine for smart traffic management. By using deep packet inspection and adaptive learning technology, Razer FasTrack allows users to prioritize traffic based on application and device types, from mobile phones and smart TVs through to laptops, PCs or consoles. With built-in detection for PlayStation, Xbox and Switch consoles, users can easily fine tune their networks for the smoothest gaming or streaming experiences. Razer FasTrack also features a one-touch gaming mode, to automatically reserve bandwidth for online gaming.
Key Features:
- Razer FasTrack – Intelligent continuously adaptive QoS with Deep Packet Inspection prioritizes applications & devices for high-speed gaming & streaming
- Multi-Channel ZeroWait DFS – Get additional bandwidth on protected fast channels for reliable, interference-free, lag-free connections
- Tri-Band Mesh with Dedicated Backhaul – For widespread coverage with maximum performance
- Intelligent Active Steering – Ensures client devices are always connected to the strongest signal
- App and Smart Software Support – iOS & Android app with advanced features for guest network & security controls
The patented Multi-Channel Zero-Wait DFS technology in the Razer Sila enables clean WiFi channels to avoid network traffic and maintain the highest speeds for the most demanding applications, without the susceptibility to downtime, hanging and disconnection.
The Razer Sila router is also capable of advanced mesh networking. Two or more Razer Sila units can be combined to provide smooth, fast, WiFi coverage across areas up to 6,000 square feet with two units or multi-storey locations over 6,000 square feet with three units. As a Tri-Band router Razer Sila features a dedicated 5 GHz backhaul and independent fronthaul links operating on up to 4 simultaneous DFS channels which further reduces interference and network congestion.
The Razer Sila was developed in collaboration with wireless home networking partner Ignition Design Labs-the technology and engineering firm founded by alumni of networking giants Qualcomm and Broadcom. Ignition Design Labs is best known for launching the award-winning Portal Smart WiFi router in 2016.
"Razer demands the very best in engineering, design and performance. We are thrilled to be Razer's design partner, applying our engineering expertise and patented technologies to build a uniquely powerful pro-grade router for the world's foremost gaming and entertainment ecosystem," said Terry Ngo, CEO of Ignition Design Labs.

I bought Razer Destructor. Likely best mousepad ever made. Lasted for some years. Ate quite a few mouse sliders.
But surface of Destructor got destroyed in process... became flat, therefore it lost its almost friction free properties.
Yes, you pushed your mouse a bit and it continued to move beyond expectations. I have never seen any mousepad like that after. But I had adequate sliders on mouse too.
So, they definitely make some good products. Maybe not at nice price. And not as durable as one would expect.

Hard not to when there's sometimes few options out there if you want a specific type of gaming peripheral.
But yeah, in general I agree it's definitely best to avoid Razer, and that's coming from someone who has owned many of their products. $250 USD for their shitty router is beyond a joke.

Lol no.
Get a small computer like this, install OpenWRT on it. If you need more than one wired connections, use a good switch like this. Since the whole antenna system is modular, you can attach whatever kind of antenna you like, even an extender cable.
Use it with SQM and cake/piece of cake QoS, you will feel like you got an upgraded connection. No more timeouts when there are heavy downloads in the background, no more Skype/Discord distortions when there are a lot of clients on your network. You can effectively treat your network connection as a pipe, where using its bandwidth does not affect latency any more. If you feel brave, put a Qualcomm adapter like this and enjoy WiFi with an order of magnitude lower latency.
The whole system is also unbrickable, and that Intel CPU is so much faster than any kind of crap you might find in a modern router. You can also keep it safely upgraded and change settings via a very nice web interface, while others cry for not having firmware updates for the latest hack.
The total cost of everything I linked is 260 euros, 40 euro cheaper than the Razer box and infinitely better in every possible aspect.
