If you have ever used a Netgear Router or mesh system, you will likely be familiar with their interface, both Orbi and Nighthawk use a very similar design and feature set. A couple of years ago, Netgear launched a new Nighthawk Pro router which uses something completely different, DumaOS. This has been built by UK…

Affordable TCL P615K 4K TV’s with HDR 10 and Android TV Inbound from £349

4K TV’s have not only become incredibly affordable in recent years, but they are good too. As much as I long for all the fancy tech you find on high-end TVs such as 120Hz OLED, eArc, HDMI 2.1 and VRR, if you can’t afford £2K for a TV, you don’t have to miss out on…

StreamLocator Router Review – Geo-unblock Netflix without an app, VPN or DNS changes

One of the driving forces behind the popularity of VPNs in the past few years is to bypass geo-blocking on streaming services. Sites such as Netflix quickly cottoned onto the fact, and they regularly block users from streaming content when they detect a VPN is in use. So if you sign up to a VPN,…

57%+ Apple Tax – AirPods Max vs Huawei Freebuds Studio vs Sony WH-1000XM4 vs Bose Noise 700 Active Cancelling Headphones Compared

This week Apple finally announced their over-ear active noise-cancelling headphones. Apple has always charged a premium for its products, justifying it with the just works argument or the premium design. While it is inevitable the AirPods Max will be good; they set a new standard for premium pricing from Apple. In the UK we get…

Linksys Velop MX4200 is one of the most affordable tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh systems to come to the UK, priced at £399.99 for a two-pack.

The Linksys Velop range of mesh Wi-Fi systems is a popular option, and one of the few brands I have not had a chance to review yet. Their current Wi-Fi 6 mesh system (MX5300 & MX10600) is a tri-band system which is typically prohibitively expensive, however, with a price of £479.99 currently for the Linksys…

Amazfit GTS 2 Review – GPS & Strava syncing make this a superb alternative to Huawei or Garmin watches

When I reviewed the Zepp E, I made a lot of comparisons to the just-announced Amazfit GTS 2, which on paper looked like a more compelling option. The GTS 2 watch has now landed in the UK for £159.99 placing it around £40 less than the Zepp E and £60 more than original GTS. Specification…

Netgear GS305E Review – 5-port smart managed gigabit switch ideal for expanding mesh system ports & improve bandwidth available for console & PC gaming

As much as I love cloud-managed networking, it is a bit over the top for many users. While a lot of our devices use wireless, the best performance will be via Ethernet; this is particularly useful for streaming content, gaming or work from home situations where desktops and phones may not have Wi-Fi.

The Pinter Homebrew Beer Review – An excellent Christmas gift and introduction into home brewing but with caveats

The Pinter, developed by The Greater Good Fresh Brewing Co, is an attractive, user-friendly way to entice people into home brewing. They make some big claims about cost efficiency, and for people wanting to homebrew without putting any effort in, it is undoubtedly a good choice. The refills are a little too expensive for my…

Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 (Gig+) Module Initial Review – Limited testing, getting it to work and 5Ghz performance

Last month Intel was the first company to launch a consumer Wi-Fi 6E devices, in the form of the AX210 Module. This is a M.2 wireless card that will fit in most laptops, Wi-Fi equipped motherboards or Wi-Fi PCIe networking cards. This is a short review, bordering on pointless because there is no 6Ghz hardware…
