Nvidia launches GeForce Now 'recommended router' program

From CNET: In an attempt to improve what can be a spotty experience for users of its GeForce Now cloud gaming service for PC and Mac, Nvidia's launching a "recommended router" program with gaming router makers.

The aim is to embed optimized quality-of-service settings for GFN in the device's firmware and automatically load them when GFN launches. It's not adding any new capabilities, it's just saving you from having to master network skills to make sure your Fortnite battles take priority over your roommate's Netflix binges.

The first compatible router has actually been out for about a month: Ubiquiti's Amplifi HD Gamer's Edition. There will also be firmware upgrades available for current gaming routers and expansion beyond the US and Canada, in early 2019. New partners include Asus, D-Link, Netgear, Razer, TP-Link and more.
