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 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 …
If you’ve been looking for the perfect router to carry on the go and can’t justify the NETGEAR M6 Pro‘s agonizing $1000 price tag, the ASUS RT-AX57 Go AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router, first announced in the last days of 2023 and recently available for purchase, is the much-needed …
I always believed the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro would be my last Wi-Fi 6 router review. Then, the ExpertWiFi EBR63 happened. Unveiled in the first days of 2023 and available almost a year later, this new router represents an entirely different product line of ASUS, the ExpertWiFi. It’ll be the first …
On September 20, 2023, Amazon announced the latest Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen to be available by the end of the month. I was quite excited about it, pre-ordered immediately, and got mine on the first day. This brief review is from my month-long experience with the new …
The EnGenius EWS850-FIT (once EWS850AP) is a standalone outdoor Wireless Wi-Fi 6 access point (WAP) and differs significantly from the previous cloud-based ECW230. And that’s a good thing. EnGenius announced the EWS850AP in early 2020 and started shipping in February 2021. In early November 2022, the company launched a new …
For years, TP-Link’s Omada has been one of my favorite DIY mesh systems using multiple Wi-Fi access points (WAPs). Now, there’s a rival-worthy newcomer, the EnGenius Fit. This review will give an overview of what you can expect from the new mesh approach and its current general status. I intend …
At the current street price of $150, the EnGenius EWS377-FIT is an excellent alternative to the ECW230 released two years ago. Not only is it significantly more affordable, but it’s also more flexible. The new access point can work as a standalone broadcaster for any existing network, or you can …
Comcast today announced the Storm-Ready WiFi, an aptly-named Wi-Fi broadcaster designed to keep its Xfinity Cable broadband customers connected during, well, a storm. That’s the idea. Judging from the name, this is a timely product. The hurricane season is coming to certain parts of the US. Considering climate change and …
