I’m not sure how I feel about NETGEAR’s Meural Wi-Fi Photo Frame (model MC315GDW). On the one hand, after almost a month of trying it out, I kind of want to keep it. On the other, I’d probably never be able to justify buying one. Sure, I can muster up …
The NETGEAR Nighthawk XR1000 Pro Gaming 6-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router is like a sophisticated date with a complicated personality. You’ll have a hard time figuring out if you love it or just like it as a friend. One thing is for sure, it’s close to impossible, for me at least, …
There are many ways to show off financial success. You can get an expensive painting, don a nice watch, buy that nice guy a coffee every morning, or, better yet, snatch this Orbi Pro Wi-Fi 6 tri-band Mesh System (model SXK80) NETGEAR announced today. Hang it on the wall, and …
This past week, I received a lot of questions regarding yet another newly-found router vulnerability, this time coming from NETGEAR. Some of you expressed frustrations and went as far as saying you’d “never buy a NETGEAR again.” Well, that’s your call, but I’d say it’s an example of overreacting. While …

Of all Wi-Fi 6 routers from Netgear I’ve tested, the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router (model RAX50) is the easiest recommendation. It has the right balance of performance, features, and cost. This eye candy Wi-Fi machine doesn’t include everything you can collectively find in a high-end router. That’s …
The NETGEAR RAX40 Nighthawk AX4 4-Stream Wi-Fi 6 router is slightly more potent than the entry-level TP-Link AX3000. Currently, at less than $150, it’s more affordable than many Wi-Fi 5 routers. Despite the relatively low cost, the RAX40 has an eye-catching design and respectable performance. What’s more, it, for the …
Even at a reduced street price of some $700, NETGEAR’s Orbi RBK850 Series — currently available as a 2-pack (model RBK852) — AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System is still crazy expensive. For the most part, it’s an excellent Wi-Fi system but, for my money, not hundreds of dollars better than …
