Ubiquiti’s new UniFi AirWire (U-AirWire) is both exciting and disappointing. On the one hand, it’s the first Wi-Fi 7 USB “adapter” with super-fast Wi-Fi uplink thanks to support for STR MLO.

As a four-bay network-attached storage server, it’s similar to the UNAS 4 in terms of capacities. However, there are significant differences … Continue Reading
Ubiquiti’s UNAS 4 is, in more ways than one, the larger version of the UNAS 2, double in physical size and capacity. However, the four drive bays and two NVMe slots mean it is fundamentally better in terms of performance and data protection. This quick preview will help you pick … Continue Reading
Unveiled at CES 2026, the MNQ1525 WiFi 7 Router with Easy Mesh, or MQ15 for short, is the first Wi-Fi 7 hardware from Motorola, a brand better known for cable modems. Despite arriving comparatively late to the Wi-Fi 7 game, it proved in my testing to be an insignificant addition … Continue Reading
