In the UK, mobile data has been improving faster than our wired connections. The average speed of the Internet in the UK is 22.37MB/s placing us 34th in the world, behind economic powerhouses such as Madagascar, Portugal, Malaysia and Andorra.

[Original Post: 18 February 2020] [May 2020 Update] In my reviews on both the Netgear RAX120 and TP-Link Archer AX11000 I have made a big fuss about how frustrating the 160MHz width channels are. However, since reviewing Huawei WiFi AX3 Pro I have noticed this is no longer the case with the RAX120, and it…
Last year the range of WiFi 6 routers and mesh systems from Netgear were expensive, to say the least. At CES this year, it looks like WiFi 6 is dropping in price with several announcements including D-Links new range of affordable EasyMesh WiFi 6 routers. Netgear is also releasing much more affordable products, albeit a…
I love Netgear, I love Mesh Wi-Fi, and I love Wi-Fi 6. So I have been quite excited about the new RBK852 WiFi 6 Tri-band Mesh System from Netgear, however, you should expect some sticker shock. If you thought WiFi 6 routers were expensive then the RBK852 is going to make your toes curl. Early…
Wi-fi 6 or 802.11 ax is the most significant thing to happen to wireless networking in years, routers have been available with the technology for around a year now, but until the Samsung Galaxy S10, there has been no device that can use it. Wi-Fi 6 claims to alleviate most of the issues we face…
Wi-fi 6 is the biggest thing to happen to wireless networking in years with improvements in features across the board. In theory, it should be able to compete if not best gigabit wired connections with theoretical speeds of 10.53Gbps and reduced latency. I have covered the differences between Wi-fi 6 (802.11ax) vs Wi-Fi ( 802.11ac)…
I have been using three products from Zyxel over the past year that work in the Nebula managed system. Recently Zyxel loaned me some new devices so I can review how managing an entire network from one interface is so much more convenient than sperate web interfaces for each device. My current devices are: Zyxel…
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…
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…
