Wot..?
Intel nic yes, but you're not doing sustained data transfer, competitive game is RTT/Ping based, realtek is not good by any stretch of the imagination, but in game, you will not be able to tell most of the time, realtek is bad mostly during sustained workload
"Gaming" router IMHO is just a marketing gimmick, yes a better router can provide better experience in something like gaming. But you can achieve the same results with QoS tweaking, AX55, AX72 can will work just fine
TM's own Fiberhome/ZTE router works decent enough, unless you also have such as other high bandwidth application running in your private network, the measly CPU can handle gaming packets just fine.
Speed isn't the full picture and doesn't determine once in for all for a better gaming experience. You can have a big pipe but if your routing is trash it's the same shit
Imagine if you're using a Mustang running on the highway at 120KM/h, but you're using routes that's NOT the highway, like small roads, detours, you still reach the destination slower.
Only thing I can think of affecting results is CGNAT with Unifi 300Mbps and below, unless TS is using that, it's just TM routing being shit and Maxis routing being more superior
That's partly true. Apart from having better specs to handle higher load, gaming router is mostly better QoS. They handle loaded latency better and have ways to prioritize VOIP so things like Discord will be smooth even when you're gaming.Intel nic yes, but you're not doing sustained data transfer, competitive game is RTT/Ping based, realtek is not good by any stretch of the imagination, but in game, you will not be able to tell most of the time, realtek is bad mostly during sustained workload

But once you get to this point, you'll need a pro gamer and a good PC to notice the difference.
However, full-cone NAT does result in slightly better consistency for certain games and that's normally only available on gaming routers.
