The EBA63 is not a huge deal in terms of Wi-Fi. In fact, it’s rather dated in specs, supporting the mid-tier AX3000 Wi-Fi 6. However, it’s the first standalone access point of ASUS’s new ExpertWiFi family and features Power over Ethernet (PoE), something previous hardware of the same specs, such …
The ExpertWiFi EBG15 is an interesting router. Despite having “WiFi” in the name, it’s the first in ASUS’s new ExpertWiFi family not to have built-in Wi-Fi. In return, it’s tiny and incorporates a powerful feature set, including VLAN and all things VPN, to earn the full name of Gigabit VPN …
The Linksys Velop Micro 6 Mesh System, officially available today, is an exceptional Wi-Fi solution that is both humdrum and exciting. Humdrum because it features the four-year-old Wi-Fi 6 standard.

It’s been almost a year since my review of the Archer BE800 BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router, one of the first Wi-Fi 7 routers on the market, and TP-Link recently made the Archer BE805 variant available. If you judged from the name and assumed the new router has a bit …
