Thanks to the Mikrotik Cloud Smart Switch I upgraded the connection between my PC and Server to 10Gbe for under £200 while also adding 24-gigabit ethernet ports to my network. It is a fantastic switch, and it turns out SFP is no more confusing than copper ethernet. However, 10GbE over copper is becoming more popular…
Multi-gigabit ethernet is finally starting to become more mainstream, at the same time with Wi-Fi 6 it is also possible to achieve multi-gig on a wireless network. While 10GbE is becoming more popular, it is still painfully expensive. 10GbE RJ45 is particularly costly. Netgear has some of the cheapest options on the market, but the…
If you want reliable Wi-Fi across a large home but don’t want large ugly routers dotted around then Zyxel may have the system for you with their latest mesh Wi-Fi system. The new Zyxel Multy U AC2100 Mesh System is more affordable, smaller and more attractive than the Zyxel Multy X Tri-Band AC3000 I have…
I have reviewed quite a lot of mesh Wi-Fi systems, and somehow the existence of the Nokia Beacon has eluded me. The Nokia Beacon 1 launched at the start of July and is currently only available in the US. The Nokia Beacon 3 launched at some point this year but appears to have had so…
Wi-Fi 6 has finally started to roll out properly, a few routers have been available over a year, but in recent months we now have client devices that can make the most of it including the Samsung Galaxy S10, two Wi-Fi modules for laptops, and now multiple motherboards on the AMD X570 chipset. Several consumer…
I recently reviewed both the Netgear RAX80 Wi Fi 6 router and the Killer AX1650 module. I have now managed to get the Intel AX200 which is available from Amazon. The Killer AX1650 is based on the AX200 but then with all the gaming and QOS related software, you can get with Killer products. So…
The Raspberry Pi series of single board computers have been nothing short of a phenomenon, being far more popular than initially anticipated and has become the third best-selling general purpose computer of all time, with over 19-million units sold (based on 2018 figures). Pricing and compatibility have been the driving force behind the RPi success…
At the consumer level, Ethernet has been stuck at a gigabit for years, and it is only the past generation or so of motherboards that have started to introduced 10gbe NICs for the higher end models. This is becoming more prevalent with the new AMD X570 motherboards, and with Wi-Fi 6 we are beginning to…
Fibreoptics, we’ve all heard of them, in fact, we’ve probably heard the term thrown around on TV so much in the last decade or so, we probably don’t even notice anymore. However, fibre optics are a pretty big deal in the world of technology, helping many things work. In fact, your internet wouldn’t be what…
Wi-fi 6 or 802.11 ax is the most significant thing to happen to wireless networking in years, routers have been available with the technology for around a year now, but until the Samsung Galaxy S10, there has been no device that can use it. Wi-Fi 6 claims to alleviate most of the issues we face…
There have been a few Wi-Fi 6 routers launched over in the past year, and this year that number has ramped up, with companies like Netgear currently having three models on the market. The problem has been the lack of devices that can work with 802.11ax, that changed with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy…
Wi-fi 6 is the biggest thing to happen to wireless networking in years with improvements in features across the board. In theory, it should be able to compete if not best gigabit wired connections with theoretical speeds of 10.53Gbps and reduced latency. I have covered the differences between Wi-fi 6 (802.11ax) vs Wi-Fi ( 802.11ac)…
