If you want to know how I would set up the network, I'd flash the access points with the merlin builds.

https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng

This shoud give you the flexibility to do alot of cool things. But won't nessarialy directly help with gaming.

The second thing I would do is enable some fourm of qos. Probably asus adptive qos to not impact the line rate too much. As with twitch or multi steaming you may be pushing closer to that upload speed limit some fourm of qos on the upload would be recommend. Download being 1gb may not get saturated and not need qos.

Just my 2c
