Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be, is the latest iteration of wireless networking technology that is currently still in development. The initial draft was launched in 2021, but the final version of it is not expected until 2024. Wi-Fi 7 is arguably a much bigger generational improvement than Wi-Fi 6 or the subsequent Wi-Fi…
Mercku is a new company to me. They are a Canadian company that was founded in 2017.

Devolo is perhaps best known for its range of dLAN and Magic powerline Wi-Fi extenders and mesh systems. Thanks to the G.hn technology they use for powerline, they have the best performing powerline systems on the market. They also have a range of Wi-Fi repeaters.

Amazon eero is a range of mesh Wi-Fi systems I have not really covered a lot. They are a popular option which I suspect is partly due to Amazon’s ability to aggressively market products but also because they just work. The product range has expanded over the years, and you have options going from the…
Yesterday, Netgear announced a new top of the range Wi-Fi 6 access point, choosing to go down a different path than competing brands, which could be quite useful for many users. While it is common for many cloud-managed access points to offer mesh Wi-Fi, the are not many, if any, that have a tri-band radio….
One of the more interesting announcements at Next@Acer was the diversification into the router market. This is a little more cohesive with their product portfolio than last years Acerpure Cool air purifier. The announcement isn’t for any old router either; this is the first Intel Killer-compatible 5G CPE in the world. I am not sure…

The TP-Link Archer AX11000 was available in late 2019 for £380. In the past year, we have seen most companies launch much more affordable models, with all the…
TP-Link has expanded its range of Wi-Fi 6 devices with two new Wi-Fi 6 extenders that use the TP-Link OneMesh system. What is TP-Link OneMesh? OneMesh allows you to mix and match products within the TP-link range allowing you to expand the system as your requirements change. It is also a good way to use…
Today, Netgear has quietly listed the new Nighthawk MK83 on their website, offering a significant upgrade to the affordable Netgear Nighthawk MK63 I reviewed last year. The main difference with the new Netgear Nighthawk MK83 is the inclusion of a second 5Ghz channel that offers 4×3 AX up to 1800Mbps. This channel will then be used as the backhaul,…
