I am quite excited about the prospect of Wi-Fi 6 and all the routers that will support it this year. Similar to 5G, the benefits of it will take a while, you need compatible hardware for the client and router, but over the next year or so, Wi-Fi should improve considerably. Today Netgear are announcing…
Not exactly the most exciting of products, but an important one. Intel has launched their Wi-Fi 6 capable AX200 module using the M.2 2230 form factor. It is an important release because as it currently stands, several manufacturers have announced Wi-Fi 6 capable routers, with some already on the market, but there has been no…
One of the great things about Netgear Orbi (and other mesh wi-fi systems too) is the ability to expand the system to broaden the range. Unlike old Wi-Fi extenders you don’t suffer the same level of performance degradation with a Mesh network, so it is possible to expand the system to be as big as…
The Netgear Orbi range of Mesh Wi-Fi systems is arguably the best on the market, and the most reviewed Mesh System on Amazon. I have previously reviewed the Netgear Orbi RBK23 and loved it, I still use it for my Wi-Fi now as it offers more than enough performance for my needs. One of the…
With more people getting access to fibre internet over phone lines in the form of VDSL via providers such as BT Internet and PlusNet the demand for VDSL routers has grown exponentially. VDSL is great for most people, but quite often the ISP supplied router is not. I have reviewed some excellent VDSL routers over…
We have been promised WI-FI 6 or 802.11ax for a while now, and to date, there have been a very limited number of devices launched that feature the latest Wi-Fi tech. Most of them cost a fortune too, as do most flagship products offering new tech. Furthermore, there are practically no client devices that can…
Following my recent review of the excellent D-Link COVR-2202 Mesh Wi-Fi system, I started thinking about what were the most affordable options on the market. The COVR-2202 is great, but it costs well over £200, as does the Netgear RBK23, and these are only mid-range options, the Netgear RBK53 with three satellites will set you…
D-Link has multiple COVR Wi-Fi Mesh systems available, and the COVR-2202 sits at the top of the pack with a current price of £231.54 on Amazon. In recent months it has been as low as £159.99. This system is a triband mesh system using a dedicated 5 GHz backhaul which can achieve combined speeds of…
While I am more of a mesh Wi-Fi kind off guy, if you are a serious gamer and need to use Wi-Fi to connect you console or gaming PC, then a proper gaming orientated router is a good idea. These routers are designed to offer peak performance with minimal lag ensuring optimal gaming conditions, which…
If like me you travel a lot for work you will no doubt have the unfortunate experience of slow hotel Wi-Fi, and quite often events where the Wi-Fi just does not work at all. As a tech blogger, this happens pretty much every time, I go to MWC or IFA. You have a hotel full…
If you are a data hoarder and ever frequently subreddits such as /r/datahoarder or /r/homelab it seems like the only two drive brands people buy are Western Digital for the reliability, or Seagate because they are cheap. However, there is a third option worth going for, and that is Toshiba. They do the usual drive…
Mesh Wi-Fi is the best thing to happen to Wi-Fi in years and solves most of the issues consumers have with their Wi-Fi, and that is poor range or black spots around the home. I have reviewed several Mesh Wi-Fi systems now including Netgear Orbi and Zyxel Multy, though I have not reviewed a TP-Link…
