I am a big fan of mesh Wi-Fi systems, they help eliminate the biggest issues with Wi-Fi and based on the number of systems on the market, it appears manufacturers think these are the future for the consumer. I was very impressed with the TP-Link Deco P7 when I reviewed it, but at around £190…
Netgear Orbi is arguably one of the best Mesh Wi Fi ecosystems on the market, but one area it has fallen short, in comparison to the likes of TP-Link, is built in antivirus and security. That is now all about to change with the roll out of Armor across all Orbi systems which is powered…
I have covered Mesh Wi-Fi systems a lot over the past year or so, and this is due to their explosion in popularity in recent years. The biggest problem most people have with WiFi is the range, and previous solutions such as running multiple routers, repeaters and powerline extenders were all a bit hit or…
Each week brings fresh news about up and coming Wi-Fi 6 devices. We already have numerous routers and mesh systems announced, with some Netgear models already on the market, modules enabling Wi-Fi 6 on the client end have been scarce. This has now changed with the recent launch of the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 which…
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…
