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….
I have not used a NAS in years, instead opting with building my own servers, but they are big, ugly and use up lots of electricity. With a growing number of old hard-drives, I wanted something that was small, lower-powered and cheap enough for me to justify using my old smaller 4TB drives in it….
With the launch of Wi-Fi 6 and we have seen many big claims about its performance but in my previous, I have been impressed but not necessarily blown away about this next-gen Wi-Fi technology. A handful of routers are equipped to show off the full potential of Wi-Fi 6 and the TP-Link Archer AX11000 is…
Draytek is a British brand famed for their business-focused routers, they are some of the best-reviewed VDSL Wi-Fi routers on Amazon, and their VDSL modem is also highly regarded. From my experience, Draytek and Billion routers are in far more small to medium-sized offices than any of the other big brand names like Netgear or…
With more routers, mesh systems and access points launching with Wi-Fi 6 it finally looks like the new super-fast Wi-Fi standard will go mainstream in 2020. The Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 was announced back in April last year, and I reviewed that back in June, as well as the Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 based on…
I have been a big fan of the Zyxel Nebula over the past year or so, the Nebula web management is one of the nicest interfaces I have used for cloud-managed networking and offered a huge amount of data and management features. They have now done a full redesign of the system to improve it…
I have previously reviewed the EnGenius EWS357AP Dual-Band WiFi 6 PoE Access Point and then the EAP1250 access point, both of which need an Engenius SkyKey or Ezmaster server to enable the centralised cloud/LAN management. In my review of the SkyKey, I highlighted that you could enable remote management by integrating it with the free…
