When it comes to system memory, the color generally doesn’t matter much—the sticks are hidden inside a computer’s case anyway. But sometimes, the slight change in the appearance can make your investment that much more worthwhile, especially when the existing design has already been fantastic. Case in point: the white …
The TP-Link BE9300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router dropped with a bang in October 2023. It was among the first Wi-Fi 7 broadcasters on the market and the most affordable, at $300 retail. Seven months later, it’s even more affordable today, at just $250 on the street. That is if you …
In a way, each router of the 2-pack ASUS ExpertWiFi EBM68 AX7800 Tri-Band Business Wi-Fi 6 System is a combination of the EBA63 access point and the EBG15 non-Wi-Fi router. And in that sense, it’s simply a more powerful variant of the EBR63 router. That’s to say, the new mesh …
April 2024 was an interesting month for Tesla owners and Tesla itself. Like many others, we received an unsolicited month-long free trial of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) for our 2023 Model 3 in the last days of March. There was a twist: the feature’s name was literally spelled “Full Self-Driving …
Earlier this month, on April 16, 2024, TP-Link announced the availability of the Deco XE70 Pro AXE4900 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System. The name rang a bell. Prior to that, there had been the Deco XE75 Pro and the original Deco XE75. I took the new canned mesh system—if we …
The D-Link M60 Aquila Pro AI AX6000 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router is the first D-Link router I’ve reviewed in a long time. It’s completely different from the previous DIR-X5460, with a more exciting design and better firmware. Still, despite the (nonsensical) “Pro AI” notion in the name, the M60 remains …
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 …

I’ll explain how to fill your new vehicle’s “tank” and avoid those over-the-top …
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. In case you’ve been busy, I’ve reviewed over a dozen and counting Wi-Fi 7 solutions since mid-2023, not to mention …
