Review of Sitecom's WL-308 Wireless 300N XR Gigabit Gaming Router. It's all a bit frustrating really, as when we started testing we really thought Sitecom was onto a winner here by combining all the high end networking features we crave with a unique advantage of an inbuilt traffic management system. Unfortunately, while the StreamEngine technology does indeed work in managing the downsteam bandwidth and is clearly a fantastic new technology with a lot of potential and one we'll be keeping close eyes on, it doesn't do enough to ensure playable pings in online games when a connection's upload traffic gets busy, which is a real shortcoming considering it is the router's unique selling point. As broadband technology has advanced, we've been given more and more ludicrous download speeds become available - seriously, who needs 50MB of downstream bandwidth?, while upload speeds have barely budged, and it's always going to be in the upstream bandwidth where a connection, especially a shared one, is going to be most congested. While we admire Sitecom for bringing a feature like the StreamEngine Technology to the market, a feature that here in the office we all agree is long overdue in home networking gear, the end result just doesn't work as well as we'd originally hoped. While it's still an extremely capable router in its own right, at this stage we don't think the StreamEngine Technology alone is worth the extra investment unless your downstream bandwidth is getting heavily contested, or you're doing a lot of downloading and not uploading while playing games.
