Esports

The match is not the place to find out about your Wi-Fi

Casual play, ranked matches, AR/VR and streaming all want the same thing: a connection that does not spike. Instant On covers the wired and wireless side of a gaming setup without enterprise pricing.

Latency is the whole game

Whether it is a LAN centre, a tournament floor or a serious home setup, gaming punishes a network in a way ordinary office traffic never does. A dropped frame is a lost round.

Instant On gives you Wi-Fi 6 access points for the wireless side and smart-managed switches with multi-gig uplinks for everything you can put on a cable - set up from a phone, with no licensing to renew.

Benefits

Built for the way people actually play

Wired and wireless, not one or the other

Play from wherever the setup is. Wi-Fi 6 access points give you room to roam across a venue or a house, and when a rig, console or capture machine needs a cable, an Instant On 1930 or 1960 switch puts it on wired with headroom to spare.

Room for AR/VR

Headsets and projectors push far more data than a desktop client does, and they are unforgiving about jitter. Wi-Fi 6 access points paired with 1960 switches and their 2.5G uplinks keep that throughput steady enough for an immersive session to hold together.

Lower running costs

A gaming floor draws power continuously. Access points use Target Wake Time to schedule when clients talk, which cuts consumption and extends battery life on mobile devices. The switches run Energy Efficient Ethernet by default, so the saving is there without configuring it.

Recommended for a gaming network
