Today, Linksys launched a new model in its WRT line of routers. The WRT32XB is aimed squarely at gamers, and in particular Xbox gamers as this wireless router prioritizes Xbox traffic over everything else.

If you're not an Xbox gamer, don't stop reading just yet as we have some good news. But as of today, the WRT32XB is the first router in Microsoft's Designed for Xbox accessory program. It uses Rivet Network's Killer Prioritization Engine (KPE) and will auto-detect any network traffic coming from the Xbox One S and Xbox One X. Linksys' aim is to ensure the best online gaming experience regardless of what else is grabbing bandwidth in your home. With that in mind, Linksys is promising up to 65 percent lower ping times while gaming using this router.

Now for the good news: Linksys is only limiting the prioritization to Xbox traffic temporarily. As Engadget reports, a spokesperson for Linksys has confirmed a software update released in the summer will allow gaming traffic to be prioritized regardless of the platform you are playing on.

The WRT32XB carries an MSRP of $249.99 and should be available from today. Depending on which retailer you buy from, the router may include a free three-month Xbox Game Pass to take advantage of. So check around before making a purchase.

We reviewed the WRT32X back in December, which is also marketed as a gaming router. We liked how fast the 2.4GHz throughput was and how easy it was to install and configure. 5GHz throughput was middling though, so hopefully the 32XB improves on that.
