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…
I have covered AVM FRITZ!Box several times over the past few years, they may not be a household name in the UK, but they are massive in the EU. From my experience with them, they always make superb and reliable routers with regular updates that I think are well worth looking into if you plan…
During CES 2019 many Wi-Fi networking vendors have been releasing products featuring the new 802.11ax standard which has been given the friendlier name of Wi-Fi 6, but what actually is it and how will it improve your home Wi-Fi? While Wi-Fi is hardly the most interesting of technologies at CES, it is something that many…
802.11ax or its friendly name Wi-Fi 6 is finally rolling out to multiple devices at CES 2019 this year. Netgear have announced their updated Orbi RBK50 Mesh Wi-Fi system, and TP-Link have announced multiple devices using the new standard with some aimed at the more affordable end of the market. TP-Link Deco X10 Mesh Wi-Fi…
Netgear are the market leader for networking technology in the small to medium business market and they continue to innovate and expand their product lineup. While my home office doesn’t particularly need business grade hardware I have slowly migrated to business class hardware due to being obsessed with networking performance across the home. I have…
Netgear’s Orbi Mesh Wi-Fi system is arguably the best Mesh Wi-Fi system on the market to date. They have continued to improve it over the years and have introduced multiple systems to meet different price points. I personally use the Orbi RBK23 system and can vouch for how good it is. At CES 2019, Netgear…
I have previously bought and reviewed the Netgear GC110P 8 port POE cloud managed switch. I found it to be an excellent affordable cloud-managed fanless POE switch that is perfect for advanced home users and small businesses. Netgear has been kind enough to send me the GC510PP 8-port 195w POE switch and the WAC505 Access…
The Zyxel Multy X is an excellent mesh Wi-Fi system for home users that has strong and reliable performance thanks to its 4×4 5 GHz backhaul radio. Zyxel is now hoping to replicate its success in the small business environment with the Multy Plus AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System. It retains most of the same specification…
I previously reviewed the superb Zyxel Nebula cloud managed POE switch, and access point and my main gripe with it was the very loud fans. Most business will likely put the switch in a dedicated room so won’t be an issue, but for smaller companies or prosumers it is likely that it will be located…
