When data traffic snarls in your Wi-Fi router, do’t worry as Qualcomm has an answer for you: a “Killer” traffic cop to make things easier for you.

Qualcomm, a maker of processor chips for mobile phones has announced in media that it is developing an advanced data traffic management form into its chips for Wi-Fi routers.

Company believes that the feature should assist routers intelligently shunt data from current days busy homes. For example, data packets that communicate moves in an online-shoot-em-up game is going to get a preference over a movie download.

Qualcomm is going to launch the technology at this week’s International CES show in Las Vegas, a premier event for the latest phones, TVs and other kinds of gadgets.

The technology, which Qualcomm has named StreamBoost, comes from a small Austin, Texas-based company that Qualcomm bought in 2011, Bigfoot Networks.

Bigfoot has raised eyebrows with its high-priced “Killer” network cards for systems, giving gamers split-second benefits in their online battles. Qualcomm is now shifting that technology from the system to the Internet router, where more devices can get the advantage out of it.

Keep in mind that StreamBoost is not going to make Killer network cards obsolete, though. Killer will just work better in conjunction with StreamBoost routers.
