With most of us working from home, we are quickly having to adapt to our new work environment. One problem with social distancing is when you need to access a computer that is not at your home, this may be the office server or when you are providing support to other users. It doesn’t have…
With most of us either working from home or furloughed until further notice due to Covid-19, we now have a massively increased demand for fast broadband. If the government hadn’t dragged its feet for years over fibre rollouts, we could all be working from home as seamlessly as possible right now. Sadly that is not…
With many people having to work from home during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is essential to get a decent working environment set up. Working from your laptop on the couch may be okay for a few hours occasionally, but with the prospect of weeks at home, a more productive permanent solution is needed. I am…
If you want the best bang for your buck NAS then TerraMaster is probably the best brand to go for. I reviewed their F2-210 last month and it offered incredible performance for such a low price. The value for money TerraMaster offers continues throughout their range, from a hardware perspective little really competes with them….
Huawei has just released its latest products at a press conference in Barcelona. Due to the cancellation of MWC, the launch was technically virtual with most people, including myself streaming it. We saw plenty of exciting tech including the latest Huawei Mate Xs, new laptops, and a new premium tablet. Part of the launch included…
I recently personally bought the excellent Synology DS218play which I found offered enough additional functionality over the cheaper TerraMaster F2-210 to justify the extra £40. However, at the time, I was not aware that Synology had just launched the DS220j could be a better option overall than the older DS218jplay and DS218j and making the…
Wi-Fi 6 is slowly becoming mainstream, most flagship phones this year will have it, including the Xiaomi Mi 10 series and Samsung Galaxy S20. There are also plenty of Wi-Fi 6 routers, and the new Xiaomi AIoT AX3600 is incredibly affordable. A few weeks ago, it was revealed a newer Wi-Fi 6E version will be…
[Update] The AIoT AX3600 has now officially been announced as part of the Mi 10 launch and it will cost 599 CNY which is just £66 which is an absolutely insanely cheap Wi-Fi 6 router. This will of course not be the price you pay in the UK, I doubt it will launch here, but…
After singing the praises of the TerraMaster F2-210 NAS for the level of value it offers over competing Synology devices, the DS218play dropped to its lowest price over on Amazon at just £183.99, and I couldn’t help but buy it so I can compare. Synology DS218play vs TerraMaster F2-210 Specification From a hardware point of…
For the past 6 years or so I have used a proper server for my NAS, first with the HP Microserver, then moving on to old PC hardware I no longer use. However, self build servers tend to be big, relatively expensive and use up quite a bit of electricity. I wanted to use old…
This year it looks set for Wi-Fi 6 to start becoming widely adopted in both client devices but also the number of routers able to provide this new ultra-fast Wi-Fi technology. Wi-Fi 6 promises to do a lot more than just increase speed, and a significant focus of it is for congestion and dense deployments….
This new bypassed me a couple of days ago, but EnGenius has recently announced two new multi-gig switches that they claim will be affordable. With EnGenius being a business focussed company, the definition of affordable may be different from what home and SOHO users class as affordable, so we will have to wait and see….
