  It’s a router not a gaming PC.

    It can probably even run Half-Life no problem. It was based on a mish-mash of the Quake 1 and 2 engines with some extensions.

  15 fps is actually really impressive

    I’m not saying it isn’t impressive. it is. but is it worth it?

      Not as a gaming device but for the novelty of doing something on a device that wasn’t designed to do said something and the attached learning experience 1000%

  I’m not somewhere where I can watch a video, how does a router have a display at all? Is it streaming to a web page?

    This router in particular had a socketed wifi card - like in laptops which is pci-e, they used an adapter to connect a graphics card to this (a Radeon HD thing (old)). If you can’t watch the video they did an article on it as well which I’ve linked in the post body

  That would be pretty impressive, actually.
