Ubiquiti are one of the last cloud networking providers to launch a Wi-Fi 6 access point, but they have made up for this by launching, by far, the most affordable solution on the market. Combined with the free to use UniFi Network Controller, there is no wonder why Ubiquiti has generated a loyal user base…
I am currently in the process of reviewing the Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite. This new Wi-Fi 6 access point is quite exciting (to me) with it being the most affordable option on the market by a considerable margin. Ubiquiti is also an appealing choice for home users, SOHO and microbusiness thanks to the affordable hardware…
The EWS850AP is the first WiFi 6 outdoor solution by EnGenius. The edge 802.11ax built-in ultra-speed access point with OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology for high-density use on multiple applications. Unlike my more recent Engenius reviews this AP uses the slightly older ezMaster, Skykey controller, and EWS Management switch methods of control compared to the Engenius…
The Vilfo VPN Router is designed to allow you to take full control of your network, circumvent geo-blocking & browse safely online. Vilfo is an offshoot from OVPN, started by them, but independent from them. Originally things started with the development of OVPNbox, which was a router based on pfSense. They later found that pfSense…

Let’s face it; we didn’t need a global pandemic to show us how much we rely on our devices and how much time we spend online. However, what it did do was greatly increase our use of the internet, with people working from home and video conferencing, sharing files or being put on furlough and…
In one of my recent posts, I covered how to maximise the WiFi speeds for the PS5, PC and Xbox Series X. It is always best to go with a wired option where possible, but if you have to use WiFi then a WiFi 6 router is your best bet. For gamers, WiFi, or more…
I first reviewed the cloud-managed Netgear Insight GC110P POE switch back in 2018, I have subsequently reviewed the more powerful GC510PP POE switch and WAC505 Wi-Fi 5 access point. So far, I have been impressed with their gear, the hardware is affordable, and the Netgear Insight system is user friendly, allowing people without extensive networking…
TerraMaster has expanded their 10GbE NAS range with its largest offering yet, the 8-bay F8-422. While this has twice the number of drives bays as the TerraMaster F4-422 I previously reviewed, the overall hardware specification is almost identical, the one exception being this has 8GB of RAM installed compared to 4GB. Currently the TerraMaster F8-422…
I’ve often found myself in situations where optimal network performance is non-negotiable, especially for gaming. If you’re fed up with lags, high ping, and latency issues while gaming on your PS5 or Xbox Series X, you’re not alone. These issues can disrupt not just your gameplay but your overall gaming experience. Luckily, several strategies can…
If you have ever used a Netgear Router or mesh system, you will likely be familiar with their interface, both Orbi and Nighthawk use a very similar design and feature set. A couple of years ago, Netgear launched a new Nighthawk Pro router which uses something completely different, DumaOS. This has been built by UK…
One of the driving forces behind the popularity of VPNs in the past few years is to bypass geo-blocking on streaming services. Sites such as Netflix quickly cottoned onto the fact, and they regularly block users from streaming content when they detect a VPN is in use. So if you sign up to a VPN,…
The Linksys Velop range of mesh Wi-Fi systems is a popular option, and one of the few brands I have not had a chance to review yet. Their current Wi-Fi 6 mesh system (MX5300 & MX10600) is a tri-band system which is typically prohibitively expensive, however, with a price of £479.99 currently for the Linksys…
