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…
As much as I love cloud-managed networking, it is a bit over the top for many users. While a lot of our devices use wireless, the best performance will be via Ethernet; this is particularly useful for streaming content, gaming or work from home situations where desktops and phones may not have Wi-Fi. With a…
Last month Intel was the first company to launch a consumer Wi-Fi 6E devices, in the form of the AX210 Module. This is a M.2 wireless card that will fit in most laptops, Wi-Fi equipped motherboards or Wi-Fi PCIe networking cards. This is a short review, bordering on pointless because there is no 6Ghz hardware…
It is currently expected that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 will feature support for the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard. We should have confirmation of this by the end of today. Wi-Fi 6E vs Wi-Fi 6 The Wi-Fi standard builds upon the existing Wi-Fi 6 by using the 6Ghz channel as well as 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. The…

I previously reviewed the flagship consumer-orientated Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 RBK852 back in May. It is one of the most advanced and fastest mesh WiFi systems on the market, with a price to match. In September, Netgear announced the Pro model, which takes all the next-generation WiFi technology from the consumer device and gives it…
