If you have been with Virgin Media for a few years, you will likely have one of the older Virgin Media Hubs. I recently upgraded to Virgin Gig1 after 2.5 years, and I was on the older Hub 3 and therefore needed the new Virgin Media Hub 5. The new Virgin Media Hub 5 is…
The Virgin Media Hub 5 was launched back in 2021, with a wider launch throughout 2022. Virgin started to offer the Hub 5 as standard to new Gig1 customers as well as existing customers without a Hub 4 who upgraded to Gig1. However, it is not guaranteed you will get one due to stock levels at…
I have been out of contract from Virgin Media for months as I waited for City Fibre to lay gigabit fibre down my road. They said a few weeks at the start of 2022, and a year later, they still hadn’t done it. So I finally gave up waiting and contacted Virgin Media to play…
In the past year, Virgin Media seems to have been plagued with problems. The biggest issue recently was the Virgin Media email service going down. This started in mid-June, with many, if not most, users losing all access to emails. This issue continued for two weeks, and by the start of July, customers could send…
Today, Engenius has announced its first Wi-Fi 7 access point, which they claim to be the world’s first cloud Wi-Fi 7 access point for enterprises. Engenius is making the world’s first claim because this is the first AP to use the Qualcomm Networking Pro 1220 platform, which is explicitly designed for enterprise-level environments. Technically, TP-Link…
The Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro (MR6450) was announced back in January at CES 2023, and I have finally managed to get my hands on one to review. This is by far the best 5G mobile hotspot router on the market, there are multiple ways to use it, and it also has WiFi 6E and a…
It has been a while since I reviewed any Zyxel Nebula devices, but for the past few years, they have been the main cloud-managed networking ecosystem I have used, though I have flip-flopped between this, EnGenius, Netgear Insight and Ubiquiti. The Zyxel SCR 50AXE is the latest product that works with Nebula, and it is…
I recently reviewed the EnGenius ESG510 dual WAN gateway, which has a USB port for 4G cellular backup. Eager to test this functionality, I bought the Huawei E3372-325 4G dongle from Amazon, which appears to be the best-reviewed option on the site and was quite affordable at £40. Things didn’t go quite to plan, but…
Many people nowadays are reliant on Internet connectivity for their daily lives. For me, my entire career relies on the Internet, I do most of my shopping on it, and entertainment like gaming and watching TV is now dependent on it. The UK is finally making some good progress with rolling out FTTP, and gigabit…
Last year I reviewed the amazing but extraordinarily expensive Netgear Orbi RBKE963. It is the first and only quad-band WiFi 6E mesh system on the market (there are some quad-band routers) and therefore offers the best performance compared to anything else out there. Netgear is now launching the Orbi 960 router part of the system…

EnGenius has launched its first range of SD-WAN gateways allowing buyers to have a completely cloud-managed network with EnGenius. The ESG510 is the most affordable option currently available that is ideal for small businesses. This SD-WAN Security Gateway is powered by a Quad-Core 1.6GHz Intel ATOM E3940 process, and it is equipped with dual-WAN 2.5GbE,…
TerraMaster is on a roll with launching new NAS devices recently. The new U8-450 looks impressive, being an 8-bay rackmount unit powered by the efficient Atom C3558R Quad-core 2.4GHz CPU and paired with 8GB RAM DDR4 (expandable up to 32GB). One of the highlights for me is the inclusion of dual SFP+ 10Gb Ethernet Ports,…
